[TCLCORE] FW: Python 'Batteries Included' proposal and more...

[Jeffrey H. <jef...@aj...>]

Dan sent this, but I thought it would have wider interest.

Note that a "batteries included" Tcl distribution is one of the
biggest items I (and others) see as necessary to revitalize the
community.

Subject: Python 'Batteries Included' proposal and more...



The proposals for how to extend python are on the web at:

http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/

The '2.0 Batteries Included' proposal was interesting.

The proposal involved including 7-10 'libraries' in
the distribution:

zlib -- http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/zlib.tar.gz
expat -- ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip
Tcl -- http://dev.scriptics.com:80/download/tcl/tcl8_3/tcl8.3.1.tar.gz
Tk -- http://dev.scriptics.com:80/download/tcl/tcl8_3/tk8.3.1.tar.gz
PIL -- http://www.pythonware.com/downloads/Imaging-1.1.tar.gz
libjpeg -- ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
ncurses -- ftp://dickey.his.com/ncurses/ncurses.tar.gz

TBD, the following three:

NumPy -- http://download.sourceforge.net/numpy/Numerical-15.3.tgz
Pmw --  ftp://ftp.dscpl.com.au/pub/pmw/Pmw.0.8.4.tar.gz
BLT -- ftp://ftp.tcltk.com/aa004735/pub/blt/BLT2.4u.tar.gz

Hmm... BLT, Tcl, and Tk..

:)
