- PYTHON 1.3 UPDATE
-
- Release date: April 9, 1996.
-
-
- Conversion and Amiga specific code by Irmen de Jong.
- (Original code by Guido van Rossum and others)
-
-
-
- * WHAT'S THIS?
-
- (If you don't know what Python is, check the Python homepage at
- http://www.python.org/)
-
- This is an update to my previous release of Python 1.3 for the Amiga.
- New features include networking support (AmiTCP), many new modules
- and libraries, and bugfixes. The executable is only 20Kb bigger (!).
-
- It can be obtained from Aminet:
-
- dev/lang/Python13.lha (about 750 Kb)
- dev/lang/Python13.readme
-
- Be sure not to download the previous version. In a few days it should
- have been replaced by this new version (check the age). It might be
- a good idea to read the readme file first. Again, be sure it is the new
- version.
-
- * MORE INFO
-
- More information can be found in the readme file. The README file inside
- the archive contains more detailed information.
-
- The following modules are built-in in this release:
- (*=new since previous release)
- amiga, array, binascii, crypt*, environment, grp*, imp,
- marshal, math, md5*, new, pwd*, regex, rotor*, select*, socket*,
- soundex*, strop, struct, sys, syslog*, time.
-
- PS: Sorry, no Amiga shared library support yet...
