Welcome to the "PC" subdirectory of the Python distribution!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This "PC" subdirectory contains complete project files to make
|
||
|
|
several PC ports of Python, as well as all the PC-specific
|
||
|
|
Python source files. It should be located in the root of the
|
||
|
|
Python distribution, and there should be directories "Modules",
|
||
|
|
"Objects", "Python", etc. in the parent directory of this "PC"
|
||
|
|
subdirectory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Be sure to read the documentation in the Python distribution. You
|
||
|
|
must set the environment variable PYTHONPATH to point to your Python
|
||
|
|
library directory. This is "../Lib", but you must use an absolute path,
|
||
|
|
and perhaps copy it somewhere else. Be sure to include the Windows
|
||
|
|
specific directory "win" too. If you use a DOS FAT file system and
|
||
|
|
either a DOS or Windows 3.1x Python version, you should also put
|
||
|
|
../Lib/dos_8x3 on your PYTHONPATH too, since it has DOS 8x3 names
|
||
|
|
for the standard Python library names. So your autoexec.bat should have:
|
||
|
|
set PYTHONPATH=.;c:\python\lib;c:\python\lib\win
|
||
|
|
for Windows NT or
|
||
|
|
set PYTHONPATH=.;c:\python\lib;c:\python\lib\win;c:\python\lib\dos_8x3
|
||
|
|
for DOS or Windows 3.1x (change the path to the correct path).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several add-in modules to build Python programs which use
|
||
|
|
the native Windows operating environment. The ports here just make
|
||
|
|
"QuickWin" and DOS Python versions which support a character-mode
|
||
|
|
(console) environment. Look in www.python.org for Tkinter, PythonWin,
|
||
|
|
WPY and wxPython.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make a Python port, start the Integrated Development Environment
|
||
|
|
(IDE) of your compiler, and read in the native "project file"
|
||
|
|
(or makefile) provided. This will enable you to change any source
|
||
|
|
files or build settings so you can make custom builds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
config.h An important configuration file specific to PC's.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
config.c The list of C modules to include in the Python PC
|
||
|
|
version. Manually edit this file to add or
|
||
|
|
remove Python modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
testpy.py A Python test program. Run this to test your
|
||
|
|
Python port. It should say "all tests OK".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
src A subdirectory used only for VC++ version 1.5 Python
|
||
|
|
source files. See below. The other compilers do not
|
||
|
|
use it. They reference the actual distribution
|
||
|
|
directories instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Watcom C++ Version 10.6
|
||
|
|
=======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The project file for the Watcom compiler is ./python.wpj.
|
||
|
|
It will build Watcom versions in the directories wat_*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wat_dos A 32-bit extended DOS Python (console-mode) using the
|
||
|
|
dos4gw DOS extender. Sockets are not included.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wat_os2 A 32-bit OS/2 Python (console-mode).
|
||
|
|
Sockets are not included.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ Version 4.0 (32-bit Windows)
|
||
|
|
=================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The project files are vc40.mdp, vc40.ncb and vc40.mak. They
|
||
|
|
will NOT work from this PC directory. To use them, first copy
|
||
|
|
them to the Python distribution directory with this command:
|
||
|
|
copy vc40.* ..
|
||
|
|
You may then want to remove them from here to prevent confusion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the project files are located in the directory just above
|
||
|
|
this one, start VC++ and read in the project. The targets are built
|
||
|
|
in the subdirectories vc40_*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vc40_dll The Python core built as an NT DLL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vc40_nt A Windows NT and 95 Python QuickWin (console-mode)
|
||
|
|
version of Python including sockets. It is
|
||
|
|
self-contained, and does not require any DLL's.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ Version 1.5 (16-bit Windows)
|
||
|
|
=================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since VC++1.5 does not handle long file names, it is necessary
|
||
|
|
to run the "makesrc.exe" program in this directory to copy
|
||
|
|
Python files from the distribution to the directory "src"
|
||
|
|
with shortened names. Included file names are shortened too.
|
||
|
|
Do this before you attempt to build Python.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "makesrc.exe" program is a native NT program, and you must
|
||
|
|
have NT, Windows 95 or Win32s to run it. Otherwise you will need
|
||
|
|
to copy distribution files to src yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The makefiles are named *.mak and are located in directories
|
||
|
|
starting with "vc15_". NOTE: When dependencies are scanned
|
||
|
|
VC++ will create dependencies for directories which are not
|
||
|
|
used because it fails to evaluate "#define" properly. You
|
||
|
|
must manaully edit makefiles (*.mak) to remove references to
|
||
|
|
"sys/" and other bad directories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vc15_lib A static Python library. Create this first because is
|
||
|
|
is required for vc15_w31.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vc15_w31 A Windows 3.1x Python QuickWin (console-mode)
|
||
|
|
Python including sockets. Requires vc15_lib.
