Python port for the IIGS

["Charles T. 'Dr. Tom' Turley" <gbmaidsf@wco.com>]

Gary F. Desrochers <desrochers@genie.com> whom (I conclude) did the IIGS 
port of Python - was kind enough to send me the (non-corrupt) following 
3 (SHK) Shrinkit archives of the Python port to the IIGS; 
Python.Main.shk (378k), Python.Lib.shk (962k) and Python.Docs.shk 
(1,066k).

When downloaded and unshrunk they all total a little over 5MB's.  Python 
was first uploaded to Ground Apple II ftp site, about 3 weeks ago - as a 
single shrinkit archive - however the archive was corrupted.  Besides, 
(as of current) - Ground seems to be down and off-line for a while now, 
BUMMER! So, I've placed the Python IIGS port - as noted above (with the 
text documentation files for it) on the GS WorldView.

These archives and text documentation files for Python IIGS will remain 
on the GS WorldView web site until 7/14/96. By then (surely) Ground will 
be back on-line and then they should be available there - permanently 
archived.

For those of you not aware of exactly what Python is, a brief 
comparitive follows - with its needs. It's a lot like JAVA.  It requires 
GNO to function.  That's about it.  If you want it, then go get it.  (It 
may well be available on Genie also).

The text files with the archived Shrinkit files give a complete review 
and discription of what it's all about. 

The URL and folder that it's located in on the GS WorldView web site 
follows.

The IIGS port text file documentation and the original text file 
documentation file of Python are included in the folder also, for your 
review!
