For changed versions of this code, which are public distributed the following additional conditions have to be fullfilled: 1) The header has to contain a comment on the change and the author of it. 2) A copy of the changed source has to be sent to one of the above E-Mail addresses or our then valid address, if this is possible to the author. The second condition has the target to maintain an up to date central version of the components. If this condition is not acceptable for confidential or legal reasons, everyone is free to derive components or to generate a diff file to our or other original sources. FILES: ~~~~~~ Readme.txt This file. Python.txt Infos about Python, and further references. Changes.txt List of all changes since the first release. Tutorial.txt A simple tutorial to use the PythonEngine To do.txt A to do list. Deploying P4D.pdf Notes on the Deployment of your applications using Python for Delphi. C++ Builder Notes.txt Notes on using C++Builder with the Python for Delphi components. PythonAtom.hlp A help file explaining the use of TPythonAtom Demos A folder containing several demos of Python for Delphi. Components\Python.* The "Python for Delphi" packages. Components\Sources\Core The source folder of the core "Python for Delphi". Lib Library of Python modules. PythonIDE A Python developpment environment written in Delphi. See PythonIDE\Readme.txt for the required components. Modules Contains the Delphi\Delphi.dpr project that creates the Modules\Delphi.pyd Python module that allows you to interact with Delphi VCL objects from Python. INSTALLATION: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ install the Python for Windows distribution (http://www.python.org/). 1) Install the core components ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For recent versions of Delphi, install the "Python_d" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\Core". For Delphi 3, install the "Python_d3" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\Core". For Delphi 4, install the "Python_d4" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\Core". For Delphi 5, install the "Python_d5" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\Core". For Delphi 6, install the "Python_d6" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\Core". For Delphi 7, install the "Python_d7" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\Core". 2) Install the VCL components (this is optional) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For recent versions of Delphi, install the "PythonVCL_d" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\Core". For Delphi 3, install the "PythonVCL_d3" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\VCL". For Delphi 4, install the "PythonVCL_d4" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\VCL". For Delphi 5, install the "PythonVCL_d5" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\VCL". For Delphi 6, install the "PythonVCL_d6" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\VCL". For Delphi 7, install the "PythonVCL_d7" package located in the Components folder and add the folder "...\Components\Sources\VCL". 3) Build PythonIDE (This is optional) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can download the latest build of this application from http://mmm-experts.com/Downloads.aspx?ProductId=4 If you want to rebuild PythonIDE by yourself, you must look at PythonIDE\Readme.txt for the required component packages to install first. 3) Build Modules\Delphi\Delphi.dpr (This is optional) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once the project is build you can either extend the Python path with ..\Modules or copy ..Modules\Delphi.pyd to C:\Python24\DLLs, to be able to import the Delphi module from Python. Note that you can try this module by invoking the ..\Modules\TestApp.py script. NOTE: ~~~~~ Don't forget to look at the tutorial file (tutorial.txt) which introduces the demos. DISTRIBUTION: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You are free to distribute your applications built with Python for Delphi, but don't forget to install the python15.dll in the window\system folder of your client, or install the Python for windows distribution (it needs more space on the harddisk, but it's better because there are all Python modules and the help).
