PYTHON 1.4 RELEASE 2

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 1.4) for AmigaDOS. If you don't
know what Python is and what it can do for you, visit the Python homepage
at <http://www.python.org/>.
* WHAT'S IN THIS ARCHIVE?
- Python 1.4 binaries for 68020/IEEE math, and 68030+FPU.
- Installer® installation script (in Dutch and English)
- Some demo programs & icons
- Python library modules
- Some documentation on Python and regular expressions
* MINIMAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- 2 megabytes of memory.
- Harddisk recommended.
- Kickstart 2.04
- 68020 CPU (No FPU required for IEEE version)
- 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 RELEASE (version 1.3 Jun 26 1996)
IMPORTANT CHANGES SINCE THE PREVIOUS VERSION (version 1.4 Jan 12 1997):
- Included the bugfixes which were available as a patch file, see below.
- Some minor other fixes and changes.
- Distributing the source code along with this archive.
Look for `Python14_Src.lha' in the same place.
- Recompiled with SAS/C 6.58.
Fixed bugs:
- possible enforcer hit or crash at exit (caused by wrong mempools code)
- roundoff errors in mathmodule. random.py works again
- readlink code (os.readlink) now works correctly
The following modules are built-in in this release:
amiga arexxll array binascii
cmath crypt doslib environment
errno grp imp marshal
math md5 new operator
pwd regex rotor select
socket soundex strop struct
sys syslog time timing
urlop
Check the README file in the archive for more information. You can also
find more information on Python at my Python WWW page;
<http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Lab/3172/python.html>
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.
