Description : Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high-level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, and MFC). Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget set for Tk and RPM. Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package. > Also, what is the output of "rpm > -q --provides redhat-release". > rpm -q --provides redhat-release config(redhat-release) = 4ES-2 redhat-release = 4ES-2 what does this translate to? thx, jackc... > -- > William Hooper > -- Jack Craig XPath/SAS Team Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 1600 Technology Dr. San Jose, CA 95110 408.333.7478 Direct E-mail: jcraig@xxxxxxxxxxx
