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 2.2 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 the wxWindows CVS at: | |
44 | http://cvs.wxwindows.org/viewcvs.cgi/ | |
45 | ||
46 | ||
47 | Where is the PyCrust project hosted? | |
48 | ------------------------------------ | |
49 | ||
50 | The old answer was "At SourceForge, of course." The SourceForge | |
51 | summary page is still available at: | |
52 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/ | |
53 | ||
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. | |
56 | ||
57 | ||
58 | I found a bug in PyCrust, what do I do with it? | |
59 | ----------------------------------------------- | |
60 | ||
61 | You can send it to me at pobrien@orbtech.com. | |
62 | ||
63 | ||
64 | I want a new feature added to PyCrust. Will you do it? | |
65 | ------------------------------------------------------ | |
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. | |
69 | ||
70 | ||
71 | Does PyCrust have a mailing list full of wonderful people? | |
72 | ---------------------------------------------------------- | |
73 | ||
74 | As a matter of fact, we do. Join the PyCrust mailing lists at: | |
75 | http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=31263 | |
