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
• Python for Mac OS X
• Python for Windows, win32all extension
• Python for DOS - no maintainer yet, so we only provide an URL
• 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.
