| 11 | What is PyCrust? |
| 12 | ---------------- |
| 13 | |
| 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. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | PyCrust comes with an interactive Python shell (PyShell), an |
| 19 | interactive namespace/object tree control (PyFilling) and an |
| 20 | integrated, split-window combination of the two (PyCrust). |
| 21 | |
| 22 | |
| 23 | What is PyCrust good for? |
| 24 | ------------------------- |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Have you ever tried to bake a pie without one? Well, you shouldn't |
| 27 | build a Python program without a PyCrust either. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | |
| 30 | What else do I need to use PyCrust? |
| 31 | ----------------------------------- |
| 32 | |
| 33 | PyCrust requires Python 2.1.3 or later, and wxPython 2.4 or later. |
| 34 | PyCrust uses wxPython and the Scintilla wrapper (wxStyledTextCtrl). |
| 35 | Python is available at http://www.python.org/. wxPython is available |
| 36 | at http://www.wxpython.org/. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Where can I get the latest version of PyCrust? |
| 40 | ---------------------------------------------- |
| 41 | |
| 42 | The latest production version ships with wxPython. The latest |
| 43 | developer version is available in CVS at: |
| 44 | http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=31263 |
| 45 | |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Where is the PyCrust project hosted? |
| 48 | ------------------------------------ |

| 54 | I found a bug in PyCrust, what do I do with it? |
| 55 | ----------------------------------------------- |
| 56 | |
| 57 | You can send it to me at pobrien@orbtech.com. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | |
| 60 | I want a new feature added to PyCrust. Will you do it? |
| 61 | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| 62 | |
| 63 | Flattery and money will get you anything. Short of that, you can send |
| 64 | me a request and I'll see what I can do. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | |
| 67 | Does PyCrust have a mailing list full of wonderful people? |
