README
1This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
2Python. They were all written by me except where explicitly stated
3otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the
4../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general
5importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos).
6
7A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing
8Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these
9can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code.
10
11Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all
12subdirectories listed here are distributed. They are listed just
13in case I change my mind about them.
