Python 1.4beta3 for Windows NT 3.5
|
||
|
|
==================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The zip file pyth14b3.zip contains a preliminary binary release of
|
||
|
|
Python 1.4beta3 for Windows NT 3.5, with Tcl/Tk support. The
|
||
|
|
installation has not been tested on Windows '95 or Windows 3.1 with
|
||
|
|
Win32s. For general information on Python, see http://www.python.org/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unzip the archive in the root of a file system with enough space. It
|
||
|
|
will create a directory \Python1.4b3 containing subdirectories Bin and
|
||
|
|
Lib and files setup.bat and setup.py. (If you don't have a zip
|
||
|
|
program that supports long filenames, get the file winzip95.exe and
|
||
|
|
install it -- this is WinZip 6.1 for 32-bit Windows systems.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the SETUP.BAT file found in directory just created. When it is
|
||
|
|
done, press Enter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Python runs in a console (DOS) window. From the File Manager, run the
|
||
|
|
file python.exe found in the Bin subdirectory. You can also drag it
|
||
|
|
to a program group of your choice for easier access. Opening any file
|
||
|
|
ending in .py from the file manager should run it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use with Tkinter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the file win41p1.exe from here or from ftp site ftp.sunlabs.com,
|
||
|
|
directory /pub/tcl/. This is a self-extracting archive containing the
|
||
|
|
Tcl/Tk distribution for Windows NT. Don't use an older version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using the control panel, set the TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY
|
||
|
|
environment variables. E.g. if you installed Tcl/Tk in C:\TCL (the
|
||
|
|
default suggested by the installer), set TCL_LIBRARY to
|
||
|
|
"C:\TCL\lib\tcl7.5" and set TK_LIBRARY to "C:\TCL\lib\tk4.1".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once Tcl/Tk is installed, you should be able to type the following
|
||
|
|
commands in Python:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>>> import Tkinter
|
||
|
|
>>> Tkinter._test()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This creates a simple test dialog box (you may have to move the Python
|
||
|
|
window a bit to see it). Click on OK to get the Python prompt back.
