- * WHAT'S THIS?
-
- This is the Python interpreter (version 2.0) for AmigaDOS. If you don't
- know what Python is and what it can do for you, visit the Python homepage
- at <http://www.python.org/>.
-
- AmigaPython is a fully Unicode compatible application and includes a
- fast XML parser (Expat). You will need some RAM but when you want to
- process Unicode text and/or XML documents, AmigaPython is your tool!
-
-
- * WHAT'S IN THIS ARCHIVE?

- - Python library modules
- - Some documentation, mostly on Amiga features
-
-
- * MINIMAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

- - Harddisk.

- - 68030 CPU, FPU required
- - For networking functions: AmiTCP (Version 4)
- (version 3 might work too, but I haven't checked this)

- MultiUserFileSystem.
-
-
- * CHANGES SINCE THE PREVIOUS VERSION (version 1.x):
-
- Well, this is the new version: 2.0! It includes a fast XML parser (Expat).
- Be aware that there are a few language incompatibilities. Just check
- out the regular Python 2.0 news on www.python.org to find out what they are.
-
-
- Check the README file in the archive for more information. You can also
- find more information on Python at my AmigaPython Web page;
- <http://www.bigfoot.com/~irmen/python.html>
-
-
- IMPORTANT:
- Please let me know if you find any errors, encounter problems, or have any
- suggestions! But, as I work on this in my spare time, don't expect
- miracles...
-
- SUGGESTION:
- Unpack the archive to where you want the program to be. The installation
- will then be performed much quicker.
- The 2.0 installer also lets you install Python 2.0 next to a previous 1.x
- installation, so you can use them together.
-
- SOURCE?
- Also on Aminet, where you got this: dev/lang/Python20_Src.lha.
