Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Speed up test_dict by about 10x by only checking selected dict literal sizes, instead of every integer from 0 to 400. Exhaustive testing wastes time without providing enough more assurance that the code is correct.

This directory contains files for the RISC OS port of Python.
For more information about RISC OS see http://www.riscos.com/ .

This port is currently being maintained by Dietmar Schwertberger,
dietmar@schwertberger.de .

On http://www.schwertberger.de you may find compiled versions and libraries
as well as RISC OS specific documentation and extensions.


==========================================================================
Compiling:

1. Extract Files from archive directory 'Python-...' to a directory named
   '!Python'.
2. Use a tool like Rename to change filenames from '*/[ch]' into '[ch].*'.
3. Create missing directories with 'amu cdirs'.
4. Build with 'amu'.

I've only tested Acorn/Norcroft C/C++ 5.30 and amu.

Python now uses the 32 bit libraries from Pace as well as the 32 bit
version of OSLib.

You will also need some additional libraries:

  DLK (patched version)
    http://www.schwertberger.de
  OSLib
    http://www.mk-net.demon.co.uk/oslib
  
  zlib (optional)
    ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
  expat (optional)
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/
    (makefile and config.h available from http://www.schwertberger.de/riscos_expat.zip
