+<p>This document will show you how to use the Py programs and the Py
+library of Python source code modules. Py is the new name for the
+project that began as PyCrust. Py is officially part of <a class="reference" href="http://www.wxpython.org/">wxPython</a>,
+and includes PyCrust, so PyCrust is no longer distributed separately.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="developer-reference">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4" name="developer-reference">Developer Reference</a></h1>
+<p>Source code documentation for developers is available at:</p>
+<p><a class="reference" href="http://www.orbtech.com/www/wx/epydoc/public/wx.py-module.html">http://www.orbtech.com/www/wx/epydoc/public/wx.py-module.html</a></p>

+<div class="section" id="what-is-py">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" name="what-is-py">What is Py?</a></h1>
+<p>Besides being <a class="reference" href="http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie">a delicious dessert</a>, Py is the name for a collection
+of whimsically-named Python programs and modules that began as the
+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, a set of
+decorator classes that enhance the wxPython class library, 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
+Mac OS X.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="pycrust-is-dead-long-live-py">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6" name="pycrust-is-dead-long-live-py">PyCrust is dead! Long live Py!</a></h1>
+<p>This project began with a program I created called PyCrust - an
+interactive, graphical Python shell, developed using the wxPython GUI
+toolkit. For about two years, PyCrust was hosted on <a class="reference" href="http://www.sf.net/projects/pycrust/">SourceForge</a>.
+Shortly after I created PyCrust, the wxPython folks started including
+it in their distribution. As the PyCrust project grew, it reached a
+point where I thought the original PyCrust name was too confining. I
+was using the PyCrust code base to develop programs that weren't just
+Python shells any more.</p>
+<p>Around that same time, the wxPython folks asked me if I'd be willing
+to move all my wxPython-related projects into the <a class="reference" href="http://cvs.wxwindows.org">wxPython CVS
+repository</a>, and become part of the <a class="reference" href="http://www.wxpython.org/">wxPython</a>/<a class="reference" href="http://www.wxwindows.org/">wxWindows</a> 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").</p>
+<p>The original goal of PyCrust was to be the best interactive, graphical
+Python shell (of course, I claimed it was the "flakiest" Python
+shell). And that was all I wanted it to be. But little by little I
+found myself developing a wider variety of tools for wxPython
+applications. Eventually I'll create a debugger (PySlice, perhaps)
+and whatever else is needed to one day become a complete wxPython
+application development environment (PyFactory?). In the mean time,
+PyCrust is still the flakiest Python shell, and the other Py programs
+are equally tasty.</p>
+<p>At this point, Py has standalone programs that include Python code
+editors (PyAlaCarte and PyAlaMode), interactive Python shells (PyCrust
+and PyShell), and a runtime wrapper (PyWrap). The runtime wrapper
+utility provides you with runtime introspection capabilities for your
+wxPython programs without having to include PyCrust or PyShell in your
+program, and without having to alter one line of your source code.</p>
+<p>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
+addition, Py contains a set of decorator classes that enhance the
+wxPython class library, by dynamically attaching docstrings and call
+signatures at runtime.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="py-standalone-programs">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7" name="py-standalone-programs">Py standalone programs</a></h1>
+<p>These are the standalone applications in the Py collection:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>PyAlaCarte</li>
+<li>PyAlaMode</li>

+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8" name="pyalacarte">PyAlaCarte</a></h1>
+<p>PyAlaCarte is a Python source code editor. It is designed to have a
+simple, single-file interface. As a standalone application, it is
+good for simple, short editing tasks. But it is really meant to be
+more of an example of how to embed the Py editor into a wxPython
+application.</p>

+<div class="section" id="pycrust">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id10" name="pycrust">PyCrust</a></h1>
+<p>PyCrust is an interactive, Python shell. But it's more than just a
+shell. It includes a tabbed notebook containing a namespace tree
+(PyFilling), and several other things.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="pyfilling">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id11" name="pyfilling">PyFilling</a></h1>
+<p>PyFilling is a namespace viewer. It isn't really useful as a
+standalone program, but it does illustrate how to make use of the
+underlying <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">filling</span></tt> module.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="pyshell">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id12" name="pyshell">PyShell</a></h1>
+<p>PyShell is an interactive, Python shell. It shares the same base code
+as PyCrust, but doesn't have any of the extra features that appear in
+the PyCrust notebook interface.</p>

+</div>
+<div class="section" id="pywrap">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id13" name="pywrap">PyWrap</a></h1>
+<p>PyWrap is a runtime utility that lets you run an existing wxPython
+program with a PyCrust frame at the same time. Inside the PyCrust
+shell namespace, the local variable <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">app</span></tt> is assigned to your
+application instance. In this way you can introspect your entire
+application within the PyCrust shell, as well as the PyFilling
+namespace viewer. And through the use of the Py decorator classes,
+PyCrust can display wxPython function and method signatures as well as
+docstrings for the entire wxPython library.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="py-modules">
+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id14" name="py-modules">Py modules</a></h1>
+<p>Py was designed to be modular. That means graphical code is kept
+separate from non-graphical code, and many of the Py modules can be
+used by other programs. Likewise, other programs can supply some of
+the modules needed by Py. For example, you could supply a customized
+interpreter module and plug it in to the PyCrust standalone
+application. As long as it supports the minimum functionality
+required, PyCrust will work just as well with your interpreter as with
+its default interpreter.</p>

+<p>Better handling of autocompletion with numeric types; no
+autocompletion when typing a dot after an integer. If the

+<p>Changed <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">introspect.getRoot()</span></tt> to no longer remove whitespace from

+left as part of the current approach, turned out to be a really bad
+thing.</p>
+<p>Changed <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">introspect.getRoot()</span></tt> to allow commands of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">''</span></tt>, <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">""</span></tt>,

+them.</p>
+<p>Changed <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">introspect.getRoot()</span></tt> to identify some situations where
+strings shouldn't be considered roots. For example:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+>>> import PyCrust # To illustrate the potential problem.
+>>> len('PyCrust.py')
+</pre>
+<p>Typing the dot at the end of "PyCrust" in the second line above should
+NOT result in an autocompletion list because "PyCrust" is part of a
+string in this context, not a reference to the PyCrust module object.
+Similar reasoning applies to call tips. For example:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+>>> len('dir(')
+</pre>
+<p>Typing the left paren at the end of "dir" should NOT result in a call
+tip.</p>
+<p>Both features now behave properly in the examples given. However,
+there is still the case where whitespace precedes the potential root
+and that is NOT handled properly. For example:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+>>> len('this is a dir(')
+</pre>
+<p>and:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+>>> len('This is PyCrust.py')
