PyCrust project. So Py is really several things: a set of standalone
programs, including the original PyCrust program, a library of Python

+source code modules that can be used in your own programs, and as many
examples of bad "pie" puns as I can come up with. (If you're going to
do something, you might as well do it all the way, right?) Py uses
Python and wxPython, so it works equally well on Windows, Linux and
Around that same time, the wxPython folks asked me if I'd be willing
to move all my wxPython-related projects into the `wxPython CVS
-repository`_, and become part of the wxPython_/wxWindows_ developer team.

I decided the time was right to restructure the PyCrust project.
During the move, the PyCrust package was renamed to "py" (lowercase
"p") and the collection of programs and modules as a whole became
known as "Py" (with a capital "P").

The original goal of PyCrust was to be the best interactive, graphical
Python shell (of course, I claimed it was the "flakiest" Python
Py also contains a collection of modules that you can use in your own
wxPython applications to provide similar services, either for your own
use during development, or as an interface for users of your programs.
-These modules are the same ones used by all the Py programs. In

-wxPython class library, by dynamically attaching docstrings and call
-signatures at runtime.
