<p>To download an archive containing all the documents for this version of

Python in one of various formats, follow one of links in this table. The numbers

in the table are the size of the download files in Kilobytes.</p>

<h2>Unpacking</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Unix users should download the .tar.bz2 archives; these are bzipped tar
|
||
|
|
archives and can be handled in the usual way using tar and the bzip2
|
||
|
|
program. The <a href="http://www.info-zip.org">InfoZIP</a> unzip program can be
|
||
|
|
used to handle the ZIP archives if desired. The .tar.bz2 archives provide the
|
||
|
|
best compression and fastest download times.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Windows users can use the ZIP archives since those are customary on that
|
||
|
|
platform. These are created on Unix using the InfoZIP zip program. They may be
|
||
|
|
unpacked using the free WiZ tool (from the InfoZIP developers) or any other
|
||
|
|
tool for handling ZIP archives; any of them should work.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that the .tar.bz2 files are smaller than the other archives; Windows
|
||
|
|
users may want to install the bzip2 tools on their systems as well. Windows
|
||
|
|
binaries for a command-line tool are available at <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://www.bzip.org">The bzip2 and libbzip2 official home page</a>, but
|
||
|
|
most other archiving utilities support the tar and bzip2 formats as well.</p>

<h2>Problems</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Printing PDFs using Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0:</strong> Adobe has
|
||
|
|
reportedly admitted that there is a bug in Acrobat Reader 5.0 which causes it
|
||
|
|
not to print at least some PDF files generated by pdfTeX. This software is used
|
||
|
|
to produce the PDF version of the Python documentation, and our documents
|
||
|
|
definately trigger this bug in Acrobat Reader. To print the PDF files, use
|
||
|
|
Acrobat Reader 4.x, ghostscript, or xpdf.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Reportedly, Acrobat Reader 6.0 can print these documents without this
|
||
|
|
problem, but we've not yet had an opportunity to confirm the report. Sadly,
|
||
|
|
version 6.0 is not yet available on Unix platforms.</p>
