- This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
- Python. They were all written by me except where explicitly stated
- otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the
- ../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general
- importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos).
-
- A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing
- Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these
- can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code.
-
- Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all
- subdirectories listed here are distributed. They are listed just
- in case I change my mind about them.
-
-
- classes Some examples of how to use classes.
-
- embed An example of embedding Python in another application
- (see also pysvr).
-
- extend An example of using the generic Makefile.pre.in from
- the Misc directory to build a statically linked or
- shared extension module.
-
- ibrowse An Emacs info file browser (uses stdwin).
- See also ../doc (the Python library documentation can
- be converted to info format).
-
- md5test Test program for the optional md5 module.
-
- pysvr An example of embedding Python in a threaded
- application.
-
- rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for
- Sun RPC.
-
- scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
- directory. No optional built-in modules needed.
-
- sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
-
- sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines.
- These require at least one of the optional built-in
- modules that only make sense for the SGI, such as
- 'gl', 'al', and 'sv'. Split in subdirectories
- per subject.
-
- stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin'
- built-in module.
-
- threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these
- only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.)
-
- tkinter Demos using the Tk interface (including Matt Conway's
- excellent set of demos).
