This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
Python. Most demos are grouped sub(sub*)directories according to
required optional built-in modules or specific platform; there is also
a set of generally useful scripts and there are some more-or-less
complete applications.
Python. They were all written by me except where explicitly stated
otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the
../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general
importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos).
A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing
Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these
can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code.
Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all
subdirectories listed here are distributed. They are listed just
in case I change my mind about them.
classes Some examples of how to use classes.

See also ../doc (the Python library documentation can
be converted to info format).

enhanced Python shell!!!
md5test Test program for the optional md5 module.

Sun RPC.
rsa An RSA public-key cryptosystem (needs mpz and md5).

www An old, abandoned collection of WWW utilities.
This is unlikely to give good results unless you've really installed
the latest version python there. Edit the first line before
installing such scripts; to try them out, you can just say "python
foo.py" or enter python interactively and say "import foo".
