| 11 | What is PyCrust? | |

14 | PyCrust is an interactive Python environment written in Python. |
| 15 | PyCrust components can run standalone or be integrated into other | |
| 16 | development environments and/or other Python applications. | |

18 | PyCrust comes with an interactive Python shell (PyShell), an |
| 19 | interactive namespace/object tree control (PyFilling) and an | |
| fea018f8 | 20 | integrated, split-window combination of the two (PyCrust). |

| 26 | Have you ever tried to bake a pie without one? Well, you shouldn't | |
| 27 | build a Python program without a PyCrust either. | |

30 | What else do I need to use PyCrust? |
| 31 | ----------------------------------- | |
| 1e4a197e | 32 | |
| e757654c | 33 | PyCrust requires Python 2.2 or later, and wxPython 2.4 or later. |
| fea018f8 | 34 | PyCrust uses wxPython and the Scintilla wrapper (wxStyledTextCtrl). |
| 1e4a197e RD |
35 | Python is available at http://www.python.org/. wxPython is available |
| 36 | at http://www.wxpython.org/. | |

39 | Where can I get the latest version of PyCrust? |
| 40 | ---------------------------------------------- | |
| 1e4a197e RD |
41 | |
| 42 | The latest production version ships with wxPython. The latest | |
| e757654c PB |
43 | developer version is available in the wxWindows CVS at: |
| 44 | http://cvs.wxwindows.org/viewcvs.cgi/ | |

47 | Where is the PyCrust project hosted? |
| 48 | ------------------------------------ | |

| e757654c PB |
50 | The old answer was "At SourceForge, of course." The SourceForge |
| 51 | summary page is still available at: | |
| 5e080143 RD |
52 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/ |
| 53 | ||
| e757654c PB |
54 | The new answer is that there is no longer a need for a separate |
| 55 | project. Simply install wxPython and you'll have everything you need. | |

58 | I found a bug in PyCrust, what do I do with it? |
| 59 | ----------------------------------------------- | |
| 1e4a197e | 60 | |
| 31fa8294 | 61 | You can send it to me at pobrien@orbtech.com. |

63 | |
| 64 | I want a new feature added to PyCrust. Will you do it? | |
| 65 | ------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 1e4a197e RD |
66 | |
| 67 | Flattery and money will get you anything. Short of that, you can send | |
| 68 | me a request and I'll see what I can do. | |
