============================================ README: Python Docstring Processing System ============================================ Author: David Goodger Contact: dgoodger@bigfoot.com Version: 0.1 Date: 2001-06-02 Website: http://docstring.sf.net Thank you for downloading the Python Docstring Processing System, version 0.1. This version mostly consists of the specification: the candidate PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals) and XML DTDs (document type definitions). If you want to run the code (there isn't much of it yet, just dps.statemachine), Python 2.0 or later must already be installed. You can get Python from http://www.python.org. Installation ============ Since you're reading this file, you've probably already completed the first step, which is to expand the dps-0.1.tar.gz archive. It contains a distutils setup file "setup.py". OS-specific installation instructions follow. Linux, Unix, MacOS X -------------------- 1. Open a shell. 2. Go to the directory created by expanding the archive:: cd <archive_directory_path> 3. Install the package:: python setup.py install If the python executable isn't on your path, you'll have to specify the complete path, such as /usr/local/bin/python. You may need root permissions to complete this step. Windows ------- 1. Open a DOS box (Command Shell, MSDOS Prompt, or whatever they're calling it these days). 2. Go to the directory created by expanding the archive:: cd <archive_directory_path> 3. Install the package:: <path_to_python.exe>\python setup.py install MacOS ----- 1. Open the folder containing the expanded archive. 2. Double-click on the file "setup.py", which should be a "Python module" file. If the file isn't a "Python module", the line endings are probably also wrong, and you will need to set up your system to recognize ".py" file extensions as Python files. See http://gotools.sf.net/mac/python.html for detailed instructions. Once set up, it's easiest to start over by expanding the archive again. 3. The distutils options window will appear. From the "Command" popup list choose "install", click "Add", then click "OK". Usage ===== The dps.statemachine module is currently the only usable component of the DPS. It contains extensive inline documentation (in reStructuredText format; see http://structuredtext.sf.net). The specs, the package structure, and the skeleton modules may also be of interest to you. Contributions are welcome!
