The +installation has not been tested on Windows '95 or Windows 3.1 with +Win32s. For general information on Python, see http://www.python.org/. + +To install: + +Unzip the archive in the root of a file system with enough space. It +will create a directory \Python1.4b3 containing subdirectories Bin and +Lib and files setup.bat and setup.py. (If you don't have a zip +program that supports long filenames, get the file winzip95.exe and +install it -- this is WinZip 6.1 for 32-bit Windows systems.) + +Run the SETUP.BAT file found in directory just created. When it is +done, press Enter. + +To use: + +Python runs in a console (DOS) window. From the File Manager, run the +file python.exe found in the Bin subdirectory. You can also drag it +to a program group of your choice for easier access. Opening any file +ending in .py from the file manager should run it. + +To use with Tkinter: + +Get the file win41p1.exe from here or from ftp site ftp.sunlabs.com, +directory /pub/tcl/. This is a self-extracting archive containing the +Tcl/Tk distribution for Windows NT. Don't use an older version. + +Using the control panel, set the TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY +environment variables. E.g. if you installed Tcl/Tk in C:\TCL (the +default suggested by the installer), set TCL_LIBRARY to +"C:\TCL\lib\tcl7.5" and set TK_LIBRARY to "C:\TCL\lib\tk4.1". + +Once Tcl/Tk is installed, you should be able to type the following +commands in Python: + + >>> import Tkinter + >>> Tkinter._test() + +This creates a simple test dialog box (you may have to move the Python +window a bit to see it). Click on OK to get the Python prompt back. + +August 30, 1996 + +--Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) |
