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. 14 15 16cgi CGI examples (see also ../Tools/faqwiz/.) 17 18classes Some examples of how to use classes. 19 20comparisons A set of responses to a really old language-comparison 21 challenge. 22 23md5test Test program for the optional md5 module. 24 25metaclasses The code from the 1.5 metaclasses paper on the web. 26 27parser Example using the parser module. 28 29pdist Old, unfinished code messing with CVS, RCS and remote 30 files. 31 32scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin 33 directory. No optional built-in modules needed. 34 35sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'. 36 37xml Some XML demos. 38 39zlib Some demos for the zlib module (see also the standard 40 library module gzip.py). 41
