The PythonCd includes the Python distribution in several forms:

Installable Python packages

In the top level directory of the CD is a directory python/, containing several packages of Python:

  • Python for Linux
    • most Linux distributions include Python, so we don't provide it for them
    • ToDo: Python 2.3.x backport for Debian Woody

  • Python for Mac OS X
  • Python for Windows, win32all extension
  • Python source code, if you want to compile it yourself

Ready-to-Use Python

On the bootable Linux system, Python is already installed and ready to run:

  • Python 2.3.4 (latest and greatest, use this!)
  • Python 2.2.3
  • Python 2.1.3

The older versions are provided for satisfying dependencies of other stuff and to be able to try compatibility of your source code.
