What's new in this release? ---------------------------------------- Release 0.2 has a reworked Python module interface to the _alpymodule. I believe it to be much more 'pythonic'. There's a lot less code to write just in order to make a simple example work. See the examples!

I've dropped in the Allegro library from the OpenLayer project. That one seems to be a lot more reliable.

I'm using sources from the Python 2.5 beta 2 PSF release.

I've also rewritten some of the Allegro examples just to show that the reworked interface works.

I also fixed a serious bug in the Python startup... the cutdown python.exe can now be executed via the PATH.

I also added back the _randommodule, and exposed the Random object at startup.

Diet Python is now starting to look like a lightweight, hardcore, bare metal gaming Python.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diet Python is a flavor of Python with allegro, multiarray, umath, calldll, npstruct and curses builtin, all else nonessential to language

ripped out. Total size < 3MB, 1% of PSF Python. Diet Python helps keep clients thin :)

You'll find it in http://sourceforge.net/projects/dietpython
