+This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
+Python. The demos are grouped sub(sub*)directories according to
+required optional built-in modules.
+
+scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
+ directory. No optional built-in modules meeded.
+
+sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines.
+ Require the built-in modules 'audio' and/or 'gl'.
+
+stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin'
+ built-in module.
+
+WARNING: some scripts are executable and have a first line saying
+
+ #! /ufs/guido/bin/sgi/python
+
+This is unlikely to give good results anywhere else except in my
+office. Edit the first line before installing such scripts; to try
+them out, you can just say "python file.py". (The .py suffix is not
+necessary in this case, but makes it possible to debug the modules
+interactively by importing them.)
