README text for the source code for SlimPython 1.5.2


SLIM PYTHON
-----------

This is a stripped-to-the bone version of AmigaPython.  I removed the
complex number and the long number types, all network code and various
other modules like the regular expression ones.

The result is a very small version of AmigaPython which I'll call
SlimPython.  Note that because it is so small it can be compiled again with
the small data model (DATA=NEAR), which the full AmigaPython version can't.

It's ideally suited to be embedded in your own applications that don't
require a full fledged Python interpreter.

See the Embed directory for an example.

You'll need the full version of AmigaPython because this archive doesn't
contain the required Python library files.

No more docs here - get the full Source distribution for that.
