+This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
+Python. The demos are grouped sub(sub*)directories according to
+required optional built-in modules.
+
+scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
+ directory. No optional built-in modules meeded.
+
+sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
+
+sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines.
+ Require the built-in modules 'audio' and/or 'gl'
+ and/or 'stdwin'.
+ (This is split in corresponding subdirectories.)
+
+stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin'
+ built-in module.
+
+WARNING: many scripts are executable and have a first line saying
+
+ #! /usr/local/python
+
+This is unlikely to give good results unless you've really installed
+the latest version python there. Edit the first line before
+installing such scripts; to try them out, you can just say "python
+foo.py" or enter python interactively and say "import foo".
