This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
1993-10-27 06:29:01 -03:00
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.
classes Some examples of how to use classes.
embed An example of embedding Python in another application.
1993-10-27 06:29:01 -03:00
ibrowse An Emacs info file browser (uses stdwin).
See also ../doc (the Python library documentation can
be converted to info format).
lutz Some demos written by Mark Lutz -- includes a nice
enhanced Python shell!!!
1993-10-27 06:29:01 -03:00
md5test Test program for the optional md5 module.
mpzpi.py Currently the only test for mpz -- print digits of pi
(compare scripts/pi.py).
1993-10-27 06:29:01 -03:00
rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for
Sun RPC.
rsa An RSA public-key cryptosystem (needs mpz and md5).
1991-12-24 09:49:29 -04:00
scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
1993-10-27 06:29:01 -03:00
directory. No optional built-in modules needed.
1991-12-24 09:49:29 -04:00
stoffel Some games written by Stoffel Erasmus.
1991-12-24 09:49:29 -04:00
sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines.
1992-04-13 15:41:41 -03:00
These require at least one of the optional built-in
modules that only make sense for the SGI, such as
1993-10-27 06:29:01 -03:00
'gl', 'al', and 'sv'. Split in subdirectories
1992-04-13 15:41:41 -03:00
per subject.
1991-12-24 09:49:29 -04:00
stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin'
built-in module.
1993-10-27 06:29:01 -03:00
threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these
only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.)
1991-12-24 09:49:29 -04:00
WARNING: many scripts are executable and have a first line saying
1993-10-27 06:29:01 -03:00
#! /usr/local/bin/python
1991-12-24 09:49:29 -04:00
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".
