-<HR>
-
-<p>This set of documents provides an introduction to various aspects of
-Python programming on the Mac. It is assumed that the reader is
-already familiar with Python and, to some extent, with MacOS Toolbox
-programming. Other readers may find something interesting here too,
-your mileage may vary. </p>
-
-<p>As the previous paragraph reveals to the careful observer these examples
-are dated, most of them were writting before OSX and haven't been updated
-afterwards. They still show how to use the Carbon wrappers but aren't
-necessarily the best way to use the Carbon API's in OSX.</p>
-
-Another set of Macintosh-savvy examples, more aimed at beginners, is
-maintained by Joseph Strout, at Python Tidbits in <A
-HREF="http://www.strout.net/python/">
-http://www.strout.net/python/</A>.
-<P>
-
-The <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/lib/Top.html">Python Library
-Reference</a> contains a section on <a
-href="http://www.python.org/doc/lib/Macintosh-Specific-Services.html">Macintosh-specific
-modules</a> that you should also read. Documentation is also available
-in PostScript and other forms, see the <a
-href="http://www.python.org/doc/">documentation</a> section on the
-webserver. <p>
-
-<p>The W widget set by Just van Rossum, does not have complete documentation as
-of this writing, but Corran Webster has documented most of it on his
-<A HREF="http://www.nevada.edu/~cwebster/Python/">Python Page</A>.</p>
-
-There are also some documentation links, as well as other MacPython-related
-pages, in the
-<A HREF="http://dmoz.org/Computers/Systems/Macintosh/Development/Scripting/Python/">
-Open Directory</A>.

-<LI>
-<A HREF="example0.html">Using python to create Macintosh applications,
-part zero</A> whets your appetite by showing you how to ask the user
-for a filename, and how to display a message. It explains about end-of-line
-confusion while doing so.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="example1.html">Using python to create Macintosh applications,
-part one</A> explains how to create a simple modal-dialog application
-in Python. It also takes a glance at using the toolbox modules Res and
-Dlg, and EasyDialogs for simple question-dialogs.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="example2.html">Using python to create Macintosh applications,
-part two</A> turns the previous example program into a more complete
-mac application, using a modeless dialog, menus, etc. It also explains
-how to create applets, standalone applications written in Python.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="freezing.html">Freezing Python programs</A> extends on this concept,
-and shows you how to create applications that can be used on machines without
-a full Python installed. This one is probably best skipped on first contact
-with MacPython.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="textedit.html">Using FrameWork and TextEdit</A> shows you
-how to use <code>FrameWork</code> application framework and the
-<code>TextEdit</code> toolbox to build a text editor.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="plugins.html">Creating a C extension module on the Macintosh</A>
-is meant for the hardcore programmer, and shows how to create an
-extension module in C. It also handles using Modulator to create the
-boilerplate for your module, and creating dynamically-loadable modules
-on PowerPC Macs. It assumes you use CodeWarrior for you development.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="mpwextensions.html">Creating C extension modules using MPW</A>
-is a companion document, written by Corran Webster, which explains how you
-can develop Python extensions using Apple's free MPW compiler environment.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="applescript.html">Using Open Scripting Architecture from Python</A> explains
-how to create a Python module interfacing to a scriptable application,
-and how to use that module in your python program.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="cgi.html">Using python to create CGI scripts</A> is a preliminary
-introduction to writing CGI scripts in Python and to writing scriptable applications
-in Python.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="building.html">Building Mac Python from source</A> explains
-how to build a PPC or 68K interpreter from a source distribution.
-
-<LI>
-<A HREF="embed.html">Embedding Python on the Mac</A> is a minimal example of
-how to embed Python in other Mac applications.
-
-</UL>
-
-The Python distribution contains a few more examples, all unexplained:
-<UL>
-<LI>
-<I>PICTbrowse</I> is an application that locates PICT
-resources and displays them, it demonstrates some quickdraw and the
-resource and list managers. In the same folder you will find the very
-similar scripts ICONbrowse and cicnbrowse. oldPICTbrowse is the same program
-but form the pre-Appearance era, it uses a dialog with a user item and
-creates and manages its own List object.
-
-<LI>
-<I>Imgbrowse</I> displays image files in
-many different formats (gif, tiff, pbm, etc). It shows how to use the
-img modules on the mac.
-
-<LI>
-<I>Quicktime</I> has the standard <code>MovieInWindow</code> and
-<code>VerySimplePlayer</code> examples, re-coded in Python.
-
-<LI>
-<I>Resources</I>, <I>Sound</I> and <I>Speech</I> have some examples
-on using the respective managers. In the <i>Mac:Lib</i> folder you
-will also find modules that do useful things with the Communications
-Toolbox, the Finder interface, etc.
-
-<LI>
-<I>Printing</I> has an example on using the Printing module to, you guessed
-it, print from Python. The code is somewhat self-documenting. Donated
-by Just van Rossum, who also donated the Printing module itself.
-</UL>
-
-At some point in the (possibly distant) future, I will add chapters on
-how to use bgen to create modules completely automatic and how to make
-your Python program scriptable, but that will have to wait. <p>
-
-<HR>
-
-Please let me know if you miss critical information in this
-document. I am quite sure that I will never find the time to turn it
-into a complete MacPython programmers guide (which would probably be a
-400-page book instead of 10 lousy html-files), but it should contain
-at least the information that is neither in the standard Python
-documentation nor in Inside Mac or other Mac programmers
-documentation. <p>
