This directory contains files for the RISC OS port of Python.

For more information about RISC OS see http://www.riscos.com/ .

This port is currently being maintained by Dietmar Schwertberger,

On http://www.schwertberger.de you may find compiled versions and libraries

as well as RISC OS specific documentation and extensions.

==========================================================================

Compiling:

1. Extract Files from archive directory 'Python-...' to a directory named

'!Python'.

2. Use a tool like Rename to change filenames from '*/[ch]' into '[ch].*'.

3. Create missing directories with 'amu cdirs'.

4. Build with 'amu'.

I've only tested Acorn/Norcroft C/C++ 5.30 and amu.

Python now uses the 32 bit libraries from Pace as well as the 32 bit

version of OSLib.

You will also need some additional libraries:

DLK (patched version)

OSLib

zlib (optional)

expat (optional)
