 Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2005 1:23 pm Post subject: What is AmigaPython? |
 |
|
Python is developed mainly for the Unix platform. Because the full source code is available, ports to many other platforms exist nowadays. These include Macintosh, Windows and AmigaOS of course! AmigaPython is the Python version for AmigaOS. Not only is it largely compatible with the 'mainstream' Unix Python version, but it is also a real Amiga program by adding some exciting Amiga features to it:-
Workbench support - you can launch the interpreter, the scripts, and data files linked to Python scripts from Workbench (not currently working in alpha release of 2.3.3)
ARexx support - connect to your favorite ARexx enabled Amiga application. Script them with Python instead of ARexx.
AmigaOS extensions - write powerful Python scripts able to perform many Amiga-specific tricks with the system and your files
I intend to make sure that at the very least all of the examples in O'Reilly's Learning Python will work, so please consider buying that book by clicking the Amazon link in the sidebar. |
