________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING: eGenix.com mxCGIPython Version 0.5.0 An easy-to-install one-file Python Interpreter ________________________________________________________________________ WHAT IS IT ?: mxCGIPython is a project to provide a complete ready-to-run Python interpreter in one single executable file. The main intent for supplying such a single file executable is to ease deployment of Python for CGI scripting even when the ISP is not willing or able to install Python for you. The mxCGIPython archive contains everything needed to build the one file interpreter. The web page provides a set of links to contributed binaries for direct use in addition to setup instructions to get the binaries up and running at your ISP. See the documentation page for a list of available binary packages. Binaries for new platforms are always welcome :-) ________________________________________________________________________ WHAT'S NEW ? Version 0.5.0 now supports importing shared modules using the pre-compiled cgipython binary. Since all the already existing binaries don't support this yet, I'm looking for volunteers to send in compiled versions for all the popular platforms (e.g. different Linux distros, FreeBSD, NetBSD, AIX, Sun Cobalt, etc.). ________________________________________________________________________ WHERE CAN I GET IT ? The download archives and instructions for installing the packages can be found at: http://www.egenix.com/files/python/ ________________________________________________________________________ WHAT DOES IT COST ? The packages comes with a Python 2.0 style license, which means that you can use them in both commercial and non-commercial settings without fee or charge. The binaries are covered by the usual Python licenses. ________________________________________________________________________ WHERE CAN I GET SUPPORT ? Free support is available through the eGenix.com User Mailing List which provides a forum for eGenix.com Software Users: http://lists.egenix.com/mailman/listinfo/egenix-users/ Commercial quality support for these packages is available from eGenix.com Software GmbH.
