New development tools for Python Folks

[Tom Hazel]

Python Folks,

I have been a long user & lover of python since 1992. Over the years I have
created a tool kit for C++ software development. I have also created some
useful python interfaces to these tools (Timers, IO processing, Threads,
Events, Locks, TCP Socket Server etc...). The end of this email has three
python test programs demonstrating some of the python interfaces.

take a look at http://txobject.sourceforge.net/

see REAMDEs in tar balls to build txObject ATK 1.3 and the txPyObject ATK
1.3

Enjoy

Tom
