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 23curses A set of curses demos. 24 25embed An example of embedding Python in another application 26 (see also pysvr). 27 28imputil Demonstration subclasses of imputil.Importer. 29 30md5test Test program for the optional md5 module. 31 32metaclasses The code from the 1.5 metaclasses paper on the web. 33 34parser Example using the parser module. 35 36pdist Old, unfinished code messing with CVS, RCS and remote 37 files. 38 39pysvr An example of embedding Python in a threaded 40 application. 41 42rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for 43 Sun RPC. 44 45scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin 46 directory. No optional built-in modules needed. 47 48sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'. 49 50threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these 51 only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.) 52 53tix Demos using the Tix widget set addition to Tkinter. 54 55tkinter Demos using the Tk interface (including Matt Conway's 56 excellent set of demos). 57 58xml Some XML demos. 59 60zlib Some demos for the zlib module (see also the standard 61 library module gzip.py). 62
