This directory contains files for the RISC OS port of Python.
For more information about RISC OS see http://www.riscos.com/ .
This port is currently being maintained by Dietmar Schwertberger,

On http://www.schwertberger.de you may find compiled versions and libraries
as well as RISC OS specific documentation and extensions.
==========================================================================
Compiling:
1. Extract Files from archive directory 'Python-...' to a directory named
'!Python'.
2. Use a tool like Rename to change filenames from '*/[ch]' into '[ch].*'.
3. Create missing directories with 'amu cdirs'.
4. Build with 'amu'.
I've only tested Acorn/Norcroft C/C++ 5.30 and amu.
Python now uses the 32 bit libraries from Pace as well as the 32 bit
version of OSLib.
You will also need some additional libraries:
DLK (patched version)

OSLib

zlib (optional)

expat (optional)

(makefile and config.h available from http://www.schwertberger.de/riscos_expat.zip
