ANNOUNCE: tclpython-2.1

[Jean-Luc Fontaine]

### CHANGES ###

--- version 2.1 ---
- tclpython2 renamed to tclpython and updated for Python 2.2.1 as found
  in a Redhat 8.0 distribution
- tclpython (for Python 1.5) dropped
- prevent automatic 'import site' on a new thread, since it makes the
  program hang

errors from Python were not always caught and properly reported to the
  Tcl interpreter
tclpython2 binary rpm was wrongly compiled against another
  installation on my computer, which caused string I/O module loading
  failure and a core dump

### README ###

tclpython version 2.1: a Python package for Tcl

This package allows the execution of Python (version 2.2) code from a
Tcl interpreter, as in:


    package require tclpython
    set interpreter [python::interp new]
    $interpreter eval {print("Hello World")}
    python::interp delete $interpreter


You can actually create several Python interpreters this way, if the
tclpython package was linked against a Python library compiled with
threads support, otherwise only 1 Python interpreter can exist at a
time.
