Core Python 1.4 binaries. Includes Python.exe, Python14.dll,
and the entire standard Python library. Most of the other
packages need this one before they can even be installed.

|
Win32 Extensions and API for
Python
|
|
Interfaces to various parts of the win32 API. In total over
200 methods into win32 are exposed, providing unprecedented power for
a free language.
Also includes ODBC support for Python on Windows.
|
|
COM and ActiveX Extensions
|
|
Interfaces to COM/ActiveX for Python. Currently includes the core COM
support, plus ActiveX Scripting/Debugging, and native MAPI.
|

Pythonwin - GUI
Development environment, and MFC extensions
|
|
A development environment for Python, built with the included MFC extensions. The MFC extensions
expose MFC in an interpreted environment, providing a completely new way of
looking at MFC, and the MFC development process.
The GUI development environment is written completely in Python using the MFC
extensions - in fact, the GUI environment can be considered sample code!

WPY - Portable GUI Library
|
|
WPY is a class library
system based on the Microsoft Foundation Classes used for
writing GUI code in Python. Programs written using WPY
will run under Windows NT and 95, Windows 3.1 and
Unix/Tk without changes and with native look and feel.
Get wpysetup.exe
for Windows NT and 95, along with Pythonwin (for
mfc42.dll). For Windows 3.1 WPY,
character-mode DOS, and Windows 3.1 and OS/2 Python, get
wpyset31.exe.
Both require the core Python
binaries.

Python 1.4 with TK for windows - PIL
|
|
Fredrik Lundh has packaged his Python Imaging Library (PIL)
with Python 1.4, including Tkinter and Tk 8.0 (or optionally
tk4.3) in the mix. Though not shrink-wrapped in an
installer, this is a good option for those of you seeking a
Tk-integrated Python, where you don't want to do the build
yourself, but you're willing to manually situate the
components, etc.
|
|
|
Alternately, you can find Tcl/Tk 8.0 installers at Sun's
Tcl/TK 8.0 page.

wxPython
|
|
wxPython is a marriage of Python and wxWindows, a portable GUI class library written in
C++, supporting many platforms, among which are Motif ,
Xview, Xt and Win32. WxWindows preserves the look and feel
of the underlying graphics toolkit.

Everything Mark Hammond uses to build and release his
Python extensions on the Windows platforms. This includes
the Wise installation scripts, autoduck (help file generator)
scripts, Python scripts which automate the build and release process,
etc.

Hints for using ODBC (Open
Database Connectivity) from Python.

The WISE package has allowed me to focus more on releasing
Python than struggling with the installer script that other
installers use.
Please consider showing your appreciation of Wise's donation to the
Python community. If you choose WISE for your installation requirements,
please tell them that Python sent you.
As this site is hosted by a not-for-profit organization, we must be
