| This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with | |
| Python. They were all written by me except where explicitly stated | |
| otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the | |
| ../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general | |
| importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos). | |
| A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing | |
| Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these | |
| can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code. | |
| Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all | |
| subdirectories listed here are distributed. They are listed just | |
| in case I change my mind about them. | |
| cgi CGI examples (see also ../Tools/faqwiz/.) | |
| classes Some examples of how to use classes. | |
| comparisons A set of responses to a really old language-comparison | |
| challenge. | |
| curses A set of curses demos. | |
| embed An example of embedding Python in another application | |
| (see also pysvr). | |
| imputil Demonstration subclasses of imputil.Importer. | |
| md5test Test program for the optional md5 module. | |
| metaclasses The code from the 1.5 metaclasses paper on the web. | |
| parser Example using the parser module. | |
| pdist Old, unfinished code messing with CVS, RCS and remote | |
| files. | |
| pysvr An example of embedding Python in a threaded | |
| application. | |
| rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for | |
| Sun RPC. | |
| scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin | |
| directory. No optional built-in modules needed. | |
| sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'. | |
| threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these | |
| only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.) | |
| tix Demos using the Tix widget set addition to Tkinter. | |
| tkinter Demos using the Tk interface (including Matt Conway's | |
| excellent set of demos). | |
| xml Some XML demos. | |
| zlib Some demos for the zlib module (see also the standard | |
| library module gzip.py). |
