- Description:
-
- Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
- language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very
- high level dynamic data types, and classes. Python combines
- remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has interfaces to many
- system calls and libraries, as well as to various window systems, and
- is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language
- for applications that need a programmable interface. Finally, Python
- is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on the Mac, and on PCs
- under MS-DOS, Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2.
-
- This RiscOS port contains most of the portable part of Python 1.4
- i.e. the parts common to Mac, Unix and MS-DOS.
-
- It includes an interface to the RiscOS SWI calls, and an experimental
- interface to the toolbox modules.
-
- The new version (Arc version 0.1) is StrongArm compatible, and
- is ported from the final release of Python 1.4, instead of from
- a beta release.
-
- Several example applications are provided.
-
- python.arc The main executable and examples.
- pylib.arc The library.
-
- pytex.arc The documentation in LaTeX format.
- pyinfo.arc The library documentation in info format.
- with an info browser in Python.
- pyhtml.arc The library documentation in html format.
-
- pysrc.arc The source code.
- dlk.arc A dynamic linker needed to make Python.
