Notes for pythonwin - Version 1.0 - Beta
Mark Hammond <MHammond@skippinet.com.au> February 13, 1997
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is built on Python 1.4 Release, with the strop bug fixed,
a slight change to the registry loading code, and an icon added to the
.exe.
NT4 Users Please Note: At the end of the installation, you will
probably see a "browse" window, attempting to locate "Python.exe" or
"Pythonwin.exe". You can safely press Cancel on this dialog, and the
installation is still OK. (This dialog may appear 3 times)
hierlist is dead - long live hierlist :-) The built-in hierlist has been
replaced with the common Tree control (yay). hierlist.py has been updated to
use the new interface.
This has the new AXScript beta included, implemented almost totally in Python.
The old one is still installed and registered, but will no longer be supported
(once the new one gets out of beta).
The new one can be installed by running "win32com\axscript\client\pyscript.py".
The new engine supports many more global variables, meaning the "ax" object no
longer need be used. An "ax" object is provided for compatability, meaning all
old code should work without problems. This version also works with Denali (ASP).
There have been a few serious changes, mainly to support a nice debugging
interface. The biggest change is the move from to a "Rich Text Control"
for the editor. The biggest impact of this is that Pythonwin can no longer
support printing source files, nor does it support changing tab settings.
Both these can be changed, but there is just no GUI for doing so.
If this bothers you, please let me know, and wait until I add this support back!
This distribution is only released in a single version. The manual
install version is not supplied, and Win32s is no longer supported.
To install this software, double-click on the filename in FileManager
or Explorer. This will you present you with a setup dialog box.
Just click "setup" and you are on your way.
Once setup, locate the new icons under the Start Menu (or Program Manager)
For all the latest information and documentation (including the use of
"PythonPath" and the registry) please see
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/pythonwin
This setup will attempt to register the ActiveX Server. If this fails, it
will not effect normal Python usage, but Python will not be available
in MS Internet Explorer.
WINDOWS NT USERS NOTE:
You _must_ be logged in with administrator privileges, else the setup
will fail when modifying the registry.
