Notes:

This directory contains zipped or tarred/gzipped packages of compiled
python installations for unixish systems, ready for installing by
copying in place.  For non-unix platforms, see also (check the README
or index.html in the respective dirs):

	mac/		1.4 binaries for apple macintosh
	pythonwin/	1.4 binaries for Windows/95/NT, + programming GUI, etc
	wpy/		1.4 binaries for DOS/Windows, plus windowing GUI, etc

Some of the packages include both the python binary and the python
modules library, some only include the binary.  For those lacking the
libary, is available at ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/src/lib1.4.tar.gz .

In either case, the directory containing the library (often
usr/local/lib/python1.4 in the packages) must be on the running
executable's sys.path.  Many of the binaries were compiled with
/usr/local/lib/python1.4 on the path, but for those that weren't or
for those of you who put the libraries elsewhere, see the section on
the module search path in the python tutorial documentation (available
as http://www.python.org/doc/tut/ ).
