(PYVMS LOGO) Python on OpenVMS

(go to: table of contents, index, prev: introduction, next: files from the PYVMS distribution)

the Python core files


You always need to download the file 'pyth151.tgz' (4389 blocks) from:

Mirror sites are available - please start from http://www.python.org/ to find out where they are.

'pyth151.tgz' contains the complete source of the core interpreter and the Python library.

Even if you download precompiled object code (described later) for OpenVMS, you still need the library files from this file! I will not make an edited Python distribution available !!


the Python documentation


The Python documentation has been de-coupled from the interpreter distribution some time ago.

Start at:

(This is the most recent documentation for Python V1.5.1 I am aware of)

Note that the PYVMS documentation only describes OpenVMS specifics. You should download the Python documentation, too.
