PC Python Binaries
These are standard PC ports built from the Python distribution. Complete
project files for building them are included with the distribution.
The Watcom compiler is used for the DOS and OS2 versions. The Microsoft
Visual C++ version 1.52c compiler is used for Windows 3.1.
-
readdos.txt, installation instructions.
-
pylib.zip, the Python library files. These
are required for all versions.
-
pydos.zip, a 32-bit dos console port, including
the dos4gw.exe dos extender.
-
pyos2.zip, a 32-bit OS/2 console port.
-
pyw31.zip, a Windows 3.1 console port. It requires
a winsock.dll.
All Python versions require Python library files. Be sure to unzip
them with "pkunzip -d pylib.zip" so that the directory structure is preserved.
All zip files should be unzipped in the directory C:\python.
Python for Windows 3.1 requires a winsock.dll. If you have Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, you can get tcp32b.exe
(S14856) from Microsoft or on Compuserve. This will upgrade WFW to
the latest TCP/IP, and it includes a winsock.dll. Otherwise get one of
the many other winsocks.
