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/ ).
