Host: ftp.cwi.nl
Directory: /pub/python
Owner: Guido van Rossum <guido@cwi.nl>
This directory contains the Python distribution and related files.
Python is a portable extensible interpreted object-oriented
programming language with a friendly syntax. Python is somewhat
similar to Perl and Tcl, but has a nicer syntax, is object-oriented,
and better suited for writing large programs. For an introduction to
the language, fetch the Postscript documentation and print the
tutorial (the file tut.ps).
This directory is mirrored on gatekeeper.dec.com in /pub/plan/python/cwi.
Also try ftp.uu.net:/languages/python -- or use archie to find the
nearest copy.
