TimeWalker (version 2.0.1 beta).
-----------------------------

Requirements.

The current version is pure Python and requires only:
 a) Python-2.2 (from www.python.org)
 b) wxPython-2.3.2 (from www.wxpython.org)
 c) a platform supported by a) and b).


Tested platforms and packages.

 win32:
	Python-2.2.exe
	wxPython-2.3.2-hybrid.exe
	win32all-142.exe (as IDE)
	

 Linux Suse 8.0
	package python2.2-105 (part of Suse)
	wxPython-2.3.2.1-1-Py22.i386.rpm
	wxGTK-2.3.2-1.i386.rpm


Install.

Installation is simple and based on
standard install facilities (.exe for win32, .rpm for Linux).
However the Distutils facility seemed not to work properly
under Linux 8.0, so for Linux there is only the py-source zip file
for this moment.

Steps:

 1. install Python-2.2
 2. install wxPython-2.3.2
 3. install (extract) TimeWalker-2.0.1


Running.

Just start 'python runTW.py' within the 'utils' subdir,
or make a link to runTW.py to a place that suites you.


Examples.

There are some small examples of data and snapshots
in the directory examples.
Larger examples will be distributed as files
to be extracted separately (in order the keep the base
distribution of moderate size).


Documentation.

All documentation is represented as .py modules in the
docs subdirectory. By using the help-menu this information
is transformed into HTML on the fly.


Win32 bindings.

If you want to execute just by double-clicking compiled (.pyc)
code, make a binding in folder options (edit the open of the .pyc
extension as '...\PYTHON22\pythonw.exe "%1" %*').


Problems.

If there are problems start TimeWalker with 'python tests/validate.py'
for opening a parallel py-shell window showing error-messages.

Among the known problems are some performance
bottlenecks when aggregating over all data.
The annoying effects is obvious when
changing shown time-levels or resizing the x dimension.


Release information.

This is a beta release. There are many things planned
to be improved (see the releaseDoc).
