I'm happy to announce that ActivePython 2.4.2 is now available for free download from: http://www.ActiveState.com/Products/ActivePython/ This release updates ActivePython to version 2.4.2, that was finalized a few weeks ago. My apologies for the tardiness. If you'll believe it, I've been busy implementing *Ruby* AutoComplete in Komodo. One thing you may not have noticed is that ActivePython has added support for a number of platforms in the past months. Installers are available for the following operating systems and architectures: - Windows/x86 - Mac OS X/powerpc (new) - Linux/x86 - Solaris/SPARC - Solaris/x86 (new) - AIX/powerpc (new) - HP-UX/PA-RISC (new) We would welcome any and all feedback to: ActivePython-feedback@ActiveState.com Please file bugs against ActivePython at: http://bugs.ActiveState.com/ActivePython What is ActivePython? --------------------- ActivePython is ActiveState's quality-assured binary distribution of Python. Builds for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows are made freely available. ActivePython includes the Python core and core extensions (zlib 1.2.3, bzip2 1.0.2, bsddb 4.2.52, Tk 8.4.9, and Tix 8.1.4) and is fully compatible with other Python distributions of the same version. ActivePython also includes a wealth of Python documentation, including: - the core Python docs; - Andrew Kuchling's "What's New in Python" series; - the Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python; - Mark Pilgrim's excellent "Dive into Python"; and - a snapshot of the Python FAQs, HOWTOs, and PEPs. An online version of the docs can be found here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePython/2.4/welcome.html Extra Bits ---------- ActivePython releases also include the following packages: - Windows "debug" package: Debug-built binaries for ActivePython users building debug versions of their binary Python extensions. - ActivePython24.chm: An MS compiled help collection of the full ActivePython documentation set.
