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.

24
25embed An example of embedding Python in another application

27
28imputil Demonstration subclasses of imputil.Importer.

46 directory. No optional built-in modules needed.
47
48sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
49

51 only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.)
