Short: Python language 2.0 (bin+lib) Author: irmen@bigfoot.com (Irmen de Jong) Uploader: irmen bigfoot com (Irmen de Jong) Type: dev/lang Requires: 68030, FPU, Kickstart 2.04 Architecture: m68k-amigaos AMIGAPYTHON 2.0 RELEASE 2.0 (build 1) Conversion and Amiga specific code by Irmen de Jong. (Original code by Guido van Rossum and others) * 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 . 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 2.0 binary for 68030+FPU - Installer® installation script (in Dutch and English) - Some demo programs & icons - Python library modules - Some documentation, mostly on Amiga features * MINIMAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - 4 megabytes of memory. Probably more. - Harddisk. - Kickstart 2.04 - 68030 CPU, FPU required - For networking functions: AmiTCP (Version 4) (version 3 might work too, but I haven't checked this) - For user authorisation stuff: usergroup.library from AmiTCP or 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; 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.
