bzip2 1.0.2, bsddb 4.2.52, Tk 8.4.9, and Tix 8.1.4). On Windows,
ActivePython includes the PyWin32 suite of Windows tools developed by

Pythonwin IDE, and more.

ActivePython also includes a wealth of Python documentation, including:

Extra Bits
----------

ActivePython releases also include the following packages:

- a 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. Linux users of applications such as
  xCHM might find this useful. This package is installed by default on
  Windows.

These packages are available from:
     ftp://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/etc/

On behalf of the team at ActiveState,
