Hi All,

I've just added a port of Python v2.5.1 to my site at 
http://os2ports.smedley.info

Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used 
for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for 
integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard 
libraries, and can be learned in a few days. Many Python programmers report 
substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the 
development of higher quality, more maintainable code.

Thanks to Andy Macintyre for previous EMX ports of Python, and to Knut for 
adding support for building Python via configure.

This port has only had light testing - but works with BitTorrent here.

It is suggested to add something like the following to config.sys to help 
Python find it's files:
SET PYTHONHOME=e:/python25
SET 
PYTHONPATH=e:/python25/Lib;e:/python25/Lib/plat-os2knix;e:/python25/Lib/lib-dynload;e:/python25/Lib/site-packages

If you like this software and want to support continued ports, please 
consider donating via PayPal via the link at http://smedley.info/os2ports, 
or via the Mensys online store at http://www.mensys.net/os2ports

General feedback can be provided to paul at smedley.info, bug reports should 
go to http://mantis.smedley.info

Cheers,
