What is ActivePython?
---------------------
ActivePython is ActiveState's binary distribution of Python. Builds for
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, HP-UX and AIX are made freely available.
ActivePython includes the Python core and the many core extensions:
zlib and bzip2 for data compression, the SQLite (sqlite3) database
libraries, OpenSSL bindings for HTTPS support, the Tix GUI widgets for
Tkinter, ElementTree for XML processing, ctypes (on supported platforms)
for low-level library access, and others. The Windows distribution ships
with PyWin32 -- a suite of Windows tools developed by Mark Hammond,
including bindings to the Win32 API and Windows COM. See this page for
full details:
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.6/whatsincluded.html
As well, ActivePython ships with a wealth of documentation for both new
and experienced Python programmers. In addition to the core Python docs,
ActivePython includes the full "What's New in Python" series, "Dive into
Python", the Python FAQs & HOWTOs, and the Python Enhancement Proposals
(PEPs).
