Python/2 is a port of Python 1.2 to Os/2 character mode. The
distribution includes only the binaries you will need to run python
you must obtain the rest of the library, doc, demo's etc.

this verison of Python has one known bug. For some reason which I
haven't been able to find long division with negative numbers returns
incorrect results in some cases. I'm aware of the problem and am
continuing to look into it.

Currently suppored features of Python2 are

* Full support for all builtin and standard modules

* support for dynamic loading of modules.

* support for native threads.

* socketmodule support, execpt for makefile and fromfd.

* as a bonus, A Watters module kjBuckets is included! ( very usefull )

this version has been tested on Os/2 ver 2.11 and Os/2 Warp. If you
have any questions the best forum is comp.lang.python. If you have any
signifigant questions, or wish to help me in development and/or
maintance email me at [email protected]

Install:

obtain the python distribution ( like from where you got this! ).
Untar the distribution and in the root of the distribution unzip
Python2.zip. Add your python directory to the path, and add an
environment variable PYTHONPATH to config.sys that at a minimum
includes the directory contianing the pyd files, and any directories
containing py that you might wish to use. Reboot and happy pythoning!
