If you don't read instructions
Congratulations on getting this far. :-)
To start building right away (on UNIX): type "./configure" in the
current directory and when it finishes, type "make". The section
`Build Instructions' below is still recommended reading, especially
the part on customizing Modules/Setup.
What is Python anyway?
Python is an interpreted object-oriented programming language suitable
(amongst other uses) for distributed application development,
scripting, numeric computing and system testing. Python is often
compared to Tcl, Perl, Java, JavaScript, Visual Basic or Scheme. To
find out more about what Python can do for you, point your browser to
How do I learn Python?
The official tutorial is still a good place to start; see
http://www.python.org/doc/ for online and downloadable versions, as
well as a list of other introductions, and reference documentation.
There's a quickly growing set of books on Python. See
http://www.python.org/psa/bookstore/ for a list.
All documentation is provided online in a variety of formats. In
order of importance for new users: Tutorial, Library Reference,
Language Reference, Extending & Embedding, and the Python/C API. The
Library Reference is especially of immense value since much of
Python's power is described there, including the built-in data types
and functions!
All documentation is also available online at the Python web site
(http://www.python.org/doc/, see below). It is available online for
occasional reference, or can be downloaded in many formats for faster
access. The documentation is available in HTML, PostScript, PDF, HTML
Help, and LaTeX formats; the LaTeX version is primarily for
documentation authors or people with special formatting requirements.
Web sites
New Python releases and related technologies are published at

There's also a Python community web site at http://starship.python.net/.
Newsgroups and Mailing Lists
Read comp.lang.python, a high-volume discussion newsgroup about
Python, or comp.lang.python.announce, a low-volume moderated newsgroup
for Python-related announcements. These are also accessible as
mailing lists: see http://www.python.org/psa/MailingLists.html for an
overview of the many Python-related mailing lists.
Archives are accessible via Deja.com Usenet News: see

Patches and contributions
To submit a patch or other contribution, please use the Python
Patch Manager at http://sourceforge.net/patch/?group_id=5470.
If you have a proposal to change Python, it's best to submit a Python
Enhancement Proposal (PEP) first. All current PEPs, as well as
guidelines for submitting a new PEP, are list at
For help, if you can't find it in the manuals or on the web site, it's
best to post to the comp.lang.python or the Python mailing list (see
above). If you specifically don't want to involve the newsgroup or
mailing list, send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com (a group of volunteers
who answer questions as they can). The newsgroup is the most
efficient way to ask public questions.
Build instructions
Before you can build Python, you must first configure it. Fortunately,
the configuration and build process has been streamlined for most Unix
installations, so all you have to do is type a few commands,
optionally edit one file, and sit back. There are some platforms
where things are not quite as smooth; see the platform specific notes
below. If you want to build for multiple platforms sharing the same
source tree, see the section on VPATH below.
You start by running the script "./configure", which determines your
system configuration and creates several Makefiles. (It takes a
minute or two -- please be patient!) When it's done, you are ready to
run make. You may want to pass options to the configure script, or
edit the Setup file -- see the section below on configuration options
and variables.
To build Python, you normally type "make" in the toplevel directory.
This will recursively run make in each of the subdirectories: Grammar,
Parser, Objects, Python and Modules, creating a library file in each
one (except Grammar). The interpreter executable is built in the top
level directory. If you want or need to, you can also chdir into each
subdirectory in turn and run make there manually (do the Modules
subdirectory last; you must use "make all sharedmods" to build the
dynamically loadable modules, if you have any).
Once you have built a Python interpreter, see the subsections below on
testing, configuring additional modules, and installation. If you run
into trouble, see the next section.
See also the platform specific notes in the next section.
If recursive makes fail, try invoking make as "make MAKE=make".
If you run into other trouble, see section 3 of the FAQ
(http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py or
http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html) for hints on what can go wrong,
and how to fix it.
If you rerun the configure script with different options, remove all
object files by running "make clean" before rebuilding. Believe it or
not, "make clean" sometimes helps to clean up other inexplicable
problems as well. Try it before sending in a bug report!
If the configure script fails or doesn't seem to find things that
should be there, inspect the config.log file. When you fix a
configure problem, be sure to remove config.cache!
If you get a warning for every file about the -Olimit option being no
longer supported, you can ignore it. There's no foolproof way to know
whether this option is needed; all we can do is test whether it is
accepted without error. On some systems, e.g. older SGI compilers, it
is essential for performance (specifically when compiling ceval.c,
which has more basic blocks than the default limit of 1000). If the
warning bothers you, edit the Makefile to remove "-Olimit 1500" from
the OPT variable.
If you get failures in test_long, or sys.maxint gets set to -1, you
are probably experiencing compiler bugs, usually related to
optimization. This is a common problem with some versions of gcc and
egcs, and some vendor-supplied compilers, which can sometimes be
worked around by turning off optimization. Consider switching to
stable versions (gcc 126.96.36.199, egcs 1.1.2, or contact your vendor.)
From Python 2.0 onward, all Python C code is ANSI C. Compiling using
old K&R-C-only compilers is no longer possible. ANSI C compilers are
available for all modern systems, either in the form of updated
compilers from the vendor, or one of the free compilers (gcc, egcs).
Platform specific notes
(Some of these may no longer apply. If you find you can build Python
on these platforms without the special directions mentioned here,
submit a documentation bug report to SourceForge (see Bug Reports
above) so we can remove them!)
64-bit platforms: The modules audioop, imageop and rgbimg don't work.
Don't try to enable them in the Modules/Setup file. They
contain code that is quite wordsize sensitive. (If you have a
fix, let us know!)
Solaris: When using Sun's C compiler with threads, at least on Solaris
2.5.1, you need to add the "-mt" compiler option (the simplest
way is probably to specify the compiler with this option as
the "CC" environment variable when running the configure
Linux: A problem with threads and fork() was tracked down to a bug in
the pthreads code in glibc version 2.0.5; glibc version 2.0.7
solves the problem. This causes the popen2 test to fail;
problem and solution reported by Pablo Bleyer.
Under Linux systems using GNU libc 2 (aka libc6), the crypt
module now needs the -lcrypt option. Uncomment this flag in
Modules/Setup, or comment out the crypt module in the same
file. Most modern Linux systems use glibc2.
FreeBSD 3.x and probably platforms with NCurses that use libmytinfo or
similar: When using cursesmodule, the linking is not done in
the correct order with the defaults. Remove "-ltermcap" from
the readline entry in Setup, and use as curses entry: "curses
cursesmodule.c -lmytinfo -lncurses -ltermcap" - "mytinfo" (so
called on FreeBSD) should be the name of the auxiliary library
required on your platform. Normally, it would be linked
automatically, but not necessarily in the correct order.
BSDI: BSDI versions before 4.1 have known problems with threads,
which can cause strange errors in a number of modules (for
instance, the 'test_signal' test script will hang forever.)
Turning off threads (with --with-threads=no) or upgrading to
BSDI 4.1 solves this problem.
DEC Unix: Run configure with --with-dec-threads, or with
--with-threads=no if no threads are desired (threads are on by
default). When using GCC, it is possible to get an internal
compiler error if optimization is used. This was reported for
GCC 184.108.40.206 on selectmodule.c. Manually compile the affected
file without optimization to solve the problem.
DEC Ultrix: compile with GCC to avoid bugs in the native compiler,
and pass SHELL=/bin/sh5 to Make when installing.
AIX: A complete overhaul of the shared library support is now in
place. See Misc/AIX-NOTES for some notes on how it's done.
(The optimizer bug reported at this place in previous releases
has been worked around by a minimal code change.)
In addition, Gary Duzan has a hint for C++ users: to enable
full C++ module support, set CC="xlC" (or CC="xlC_r" for thread
support in AIX 4.2.1).
HP-UX: Please read the file Misc/HPUX-NOTES for shared libraries.
When using threading, you may have to add -D_REENTRANT to the
OPT variable in the top-level Makefile; reported by Pat Knight,
this seems to make a difference (at least for HP-UX 10.20)
even though config.h defines it.
Minix: When using ack, use "CC=cc AR=aal RANLIB=: ./configure"!
SCO: The following apply to SCO 3 only; Python builds out of the box
on SCO 5 (or so we've heard).
1) Everything works much better if you add -U__STDC__ to the
defs. This is because all the SCO header files are broken.
Anything that isn't mentioned in the C standard is
conditionally excluded when __STDC__ is defined.
2) Due to the U.S. export restrictions, SCO broke the crypt
stuff out into a separate library, libcrypt_i.a so the LIBS
needed be set to:
LIBS=' -lsocket -lcrypt_i'
SunOS 4.x: When using the SunPro C compiler, you may want to use the
'-Xa' option instead of '-Xc', to enable some needed non-ANSI
NeXT: To build fat binaries, use the --with-next-archs switch
described below.
QNX: Chris Herborth (firstname.lastname@example.com) writes:
configure works best if you use GNU bash; a port is available on
ftp.qnx.com in /usr/free. I used the following process to build,
test and install Python 1.5.x under QNX:
1) CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash CC=cc RANLIB=: \
./configure --verbose --without-gcc --with-libm=""
2) copy Modules/Setup.in to Modules/Setup; edit Modules/Setup to
activate everything that makes sense for your system... tested
here at QNX with the following modules:
array, audioop, binascii, cPickle, cStringIO, cmath,
crypt, curses, errno, fcntl, gdbm, grp, imageop,
_locale, math, md5, new, operator, parser, pcre,
posix, pwd, readline, regex, reop, rgbimg, rotor,
select, signal, socket, soundex, strop, struct,
syslog, termios, time, timing, zlib, audioop, imageop, rgbimg
3) make SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
or, if you feel the need for speed:
make SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash OPT="-5 -Oil+nrt"
4) make SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash test
Using GNU readline 2.2 seems to behave strangely, but I
think that's a problem with my readline 2.2 port. :-\
5) make SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash install
If you get SIGSEGVs while running Python (I haven't yet, but
I've only run small programs and the test cases), you're
probably running out of stack; the default 32k could be a
little tight. To increase the stack size, edit the Makefile
in the Modules directory to read: LDFLAGS = -N 48k
BeOS: Chris Herborth (email@example.com) writes:
See BeOS/README for notes about compiling/installing Python on
BeOS R3 or later. Note that only the PowerPC platform is
supported for R3; both PowerPC and x86 are supported for R4.
Cray T3E: Konrad Hinsen writes:
1) Don't use gcc. It compiles Python/graminit.c into something
that the Cray assembler doesn't like. Cray's cc seems to work
2) Comment out modules md5 (won't compile) and audioop (will
crash the interpreter during the test suite).
If you run the test suite, two tests will fail (rotate and
binascii), but these are not the modules you'd expect to need
on a Cray.
SGI: SGI's standard "make" utility (/bin/make or /usr/bin/make)
does not check whether a command actually changed the file it
is supposed to build. This means that whenever you say "make"
it will redo the link step. The remedy is to use SGI's much
smarter "smake " utility (/usr/sbin/smake), or GNU make. If
you set the first line of the Makefile to #!/usr/sbin/smake
smake will be invoked by make (likewise for GNU make).
There is a bug in the SGI compiler's optimization that causes a
bus error in PyComplex_ImagAsDouble(); this has been reported to
be triggered when importing Numeric Python and may be caused at
other times. The work-around is to build Python, delete the
Objects/complexobject.o file, and then recompile without
optimization (use "make OPT=").
OS/2: If you are running Warp3 or Warp4 and have IBM's VisualAge C/C++
compiler installed, just change into the pc\os2vacpp directory
and type NMAKE. Threading and sockets are supported by default
in the resulting binaries of PYTHON15.DLL and PYTHON.EXE.
Monterey (64-bit AIX): The current Monterey C compiler (Visual Age)
uses the OBJECT_MODE={32|64} environment variable to set the
compilation mode to either 32-bit or 64-bit (32-bit mode is
the default). Presumably you want 64-bit compilation mode for
this 64-bit OS. As a result you must first set OBJECT_MODE=64
in your environment before configuring (./configure) or
building (make) Python on Monterey.
Reliant UNIX: The thread support does not compile on Reliant UNIX, and
there is a (minor) problem in the configure script for that
platform as well. This should be resolved in time for a
future release.
Configuring threads
As of Python 2.0, threads are enabled by default. If you wish to
compile without threads, or if your thread support is broken, pass the
--with-threads=no switch to configure. Unfortunately, on some
platforms, additional compiler and/or linker options are required for
threads to work properly. Below is a table of those options,
collected by Bill Janssen. We would love to automate this process
more, but the information below is not enough to write a patch for the
configure.in file, so manual intervention is required. If you patch
the configure.in file and are confident that the patch works, please
send in the patch. (Don't bother patching the configure script itself
-- it is regenerated each the configure.in file changes.)

Configuring additional built-in modules
You can configure the interpreter to contain fewer or more built-in
modules by editing the Modules/Setup file. This file is initially
copied (when the toplevel Makefile makes Modules/Makefile for the
first time) from Setup.in; if it does not exist yet, make a copy
yourself. Never edit Setup.in -- always edit Setup. Read the
comments in the file for information on what kind of edits are
allowed. When you have edited Setup, Makefile and config.c in the
Modules directory, the interpreter will automatically be rebuilt the
next time you run make in the toplevel directory. (When working
inside the Modules directory, use "make Makefile; make".)
The default collection of modules should build on any Unix system, but
many optional modules should work on all modern Unices (e.g. try
audioop, imageop, crypt, dbm, gdbm, nis, resource, termios, timing,
syslog, _curses, pyexpat, readline, rgbimg, zlib). Often the quickest
way to determine whether a particular module works or not is to see if
it will build: enable it in Setup, then if you get compilation or link
errors, disable it -- you're missing support.
On SGI IRIX, there are modules that interface to many SGI specific
system libraries, e.g. the GL library and the audio hardware.
For SunOS and Solaris, enable module "sunaudiodev" to support the
audio device. Likewise, for Linux systems, enable "linuxaudiodev".
In addition to the file Setup, you can also edit the file Setup.local.
(the makesetup script processes both). You may find it more
convenient to edit Setup.local and leave Setup alone. Then, when
installing a new Python version, you can copy your old Setup.local
Setting the optimization/debugging options
If you want or need to change the optimization/debugging options for
the C compiler, assign to the OPT variable on the toplevel make
command; e.g. "make OPT=-g" will build a debugging version of Python
on most platforms. The default is OPT=-O; a value for OPT in the
environment when the configure script is run overrides this default
(likewise for CC; and the initial value for LIBS is used as the base
set of libraries to link with).
To test the interpreter, type "make test" in the top-level directory.
This runs the test set twice (once with no compiled files, once with
the compiled files left by the previous test run). The test set
produces some output. You can generally ignore the messages about
skipped tests due to optional features which can't be imported. (If
you want to test those modules, edit Modules/Setup to configure them.)
If a message is printed about a failed test or a traceback or core
dump is produced, something is wrong. On some Linux systems (those
that are not yet using glibc 6), test_strftime fails due to a
non-standard implementation of strftime() in the C library. Please
ignore this, or upgrade to glibc version 6.
IMPORTANT: If the tests fail and you decide to mail a bug report,
*don't* include the output of "make test". It is useless. Run the
failing test manually, as follows:
python ../Lib/test/test_whatever.py
(substituting the top of the source tree for .. if you built in a
different directory). This runs the test in verbose mode.
To install the Python binary, library modules, shared library modules
(see below), include files, configuration files, and the manual page,
just type
make install
This will install all platform-independent files in subdirectories of
the directory given with the --prefix option to configure or to the
`prefix' Make variable (default /usr/local). All binary and other
platform-specific files will be installed in subdirectories if the
directory given by --exec-prefix or the `exec_prefix' Make variable
(defaults to the --prefix directory) is given.
All subdirectories created will have Python's version number in their
name, e.g. the library modules are installed in
"/usr/local/lib/python<version>/" by default, where <version> is the
<major>.<minor> release number (i.e. "2.0", even though this is Python
2.0.1). The Python binary is installed as "python<version>" and a
hard link named "python" is created. The only file not installed with
a version number in its name is the manual page, installed as
"/usr/local/man/man1/python.1" by default.
If you have a previous installation of a pre-2.0 Python that you don't
want to replace yet, use
make altinstall
This installs the same set of files as "make install" except it
doesn't create the hard link to "python<version>" named "python" and
it doesn't install the manual page at all.
The only thing you may have to install manually is the Python mode for
Emacs found in Misc/python-mode.el. (But then again, more recent
versions of Emacs may already have it.) Follow the instructions that
came with Emacs for installation of site-specific files.
Configuration options and variables
Some special cases are handled by passing options to the configure
WARNING: if you rerun the configure script with different options, you
must run "make clean" before rebuilding. Exceptions to this rule:
after changing --prefix or --exec-prefix, all you need to do is remove
--with(out)-gcc: The configure script uses gcc (the GNU C compiler) if
it finds it. If you don't want this, or if this compiler is
installed but broken on your platform, pass the option
--without-gcc. You can also pass "CC=cc" (or whatever the
name of the proper C compiler is) in the environment, but the
advantage of using --without-gcc is that this option is
remembered by the config.status script for its --recheck
--prefix, --exec-prefix: If you want to install the binaries and the
Python library somewhere else than in /usr/local/{bin,lib},
you can pass the option --prefix=DIRECTORY; the interpreter
binary will be installed as DIRECTORY/bin/python and the
library files as DIRECTORY/lib/python/*. If you pass
--exec-prefix=DIRECTORY (as well) this overrides the
installation prefix for architecture-dependent files (like the
interpreter binary). Note that --prefix=DIRECTORY also
affects the default module search path (sys.path), when
Modules/config.c is compiled. Passing make the option
prefix=DIRECTORY (and/or exec_prefix=DIRECTORY) overrides the
prefix set at configuration time; this may be more convenient
than re-running the configure script if you change your mind
about the install prefix.
--with-readline: This option is no longer supported. To use GNU
readline, enable module "readline" in the Modules/Setup file.
--with-threads: On most Unix systems, you can now use multiple
threads, and support for this is enabled by default. To
disable this, pass --with-threads=no. If the library required
for threads lives in a peculiar place, you can use
--with-thread=DIRECTORY. IMPORTANT: run "make clean" after
changing (either enabling or disabling) this option, or you
will get link errors! Note: for DEC Unix use
--with-dec-threads instead.
--with-sgi-dl: On SGI IRIX 4, dynamic loading of extension modules is
supported by the "dl" library by Jack Jansen, which is
ftp'able from ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dl-1.6.tar.Z.
This is enabled (after you've ftp'ed and compiled the dl
library) by passing --with-sgi-dl=DIRECTORY where DIRECTORY
is the absolute pathname of the dl library. (Don't bother on
IRIX 5, it already has dynamic linking using SunOS style
shared libraries.) Support for this feature is deprecated.
--with-dl-dld: Dynamic loading of modules is rumored to be supported
on some other systems: VAX (Ultrix), Sun3 (SunOS 3.4), Sequent
Symmetry (Dynix), and Atari ST. This is done using a
combination of the GNU dynamic loading package
(ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dl-dld-1.1.tar.Z) and an
emulation of the SGI dl library mentioned above (the emulation
can be found at
ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dld-3.2.3.tar.Z). To
enable this, ftp and compile both libraries, then call
configure, passing it the option
--with-dl-dld=DL_DIRECTORY,DLD_DIRECTORY where DL_DIRECTORY is
the absolute pathname of the dl emulation library and
DLD_DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the GNU dld library.
(Don't bother on SunOS 4 or 5, they already have dynamic
linking using shared libraries.) Support for this feature is
--with-libm, --with-libc: It is possible to specify alternative
versions for the Math library (default -lm) and the C library
(default the empty string) using the options
--with-libm=STRING and --with-libc=STRING, respectively. For
example, if your system requires that you pass -lc_s to the C
compiler to use the shared C library, you can pass
--with-libc=-lc_s. These libraries are passed after all other
libraries, the C library last.
--with-next-archs='arch1 arch2': Under NEXTSTEP, this will build
all compiled binaries with the architectures listed. This will
also correctly set the target architecture-specific resource
directory. (This option is not supported on other platforms.)
--with-libs='libs': Add 'libs' to the LIBS that the python interpreter
is linked against.
Building for multiple architectures (using the VPATH feature)
If your file system is shared between multiple architectures, it
usually is not necessary to make copies of the sources for each
architecture you want to support. If the make program supports the
VPATH feature, you can create an empty build directory for each
architecture, and in each directory run the configure script (on the
appropriate machine with the appropriate options). This creates the
necessary subdirectories and the Makefiles therein. The Makefiles
contain a line VPATH=... which points to a directory containing the
actual sources. (On SGI systems, use "smake -J1" instead of "make" if
you use VPATH -- don't try gnumake.)
For example, the following is all you need to build a minimal Python
in /usr/tmp/python (assuming ~guido/src/python is the toplevel
directory and you want to build in /usr/tmp/python):
$ mkdir /usr/tmp/python
$ cd /usr/tmp/python
$ ~guido/src/python/configure
$ make
Note that Modules/Makefile copies the original Setup file to the build
directory if it finds no Setup file there. This means that you can
edit the Setup file for each architecture independently. For this
reason, subsequent changes to the original Setup file are not tracked
automatically, as they might overwrite local changes. To force a copy
of a changed original Setup file, delete the target Setup file. (The
makesetup script supports multiple input files, so if you want to be
fancy you can change the rules to create an empty Setup.local if it
doesn't exist and run it with arguments $(srcdir)/Setup Setup.local;
however this assumes that you only need to add modules.)
Building on non-UNIX systems
For Windows (2000/NT/ME/98/95), assuming you have MS VC++ 6.0, the
project files are in PCbuild, the workspace is pcbuild.dsw. See
PCbuild\readme.txt for detailed instructions.
For other non-Unix Windows compilers, in particular Windows 3.1 and
for OS/2, enter the directory "PC" and read the file "readme.txt".
For the Mac, a separate source distribution will be made available,
for use with the CodeWarrior compiler. If you are interested in Mac
development, join the PythonMac Special Interest Group
(http://www.python.org/sigs/pythonmac-sig/, or send email to
Of course, there are also binary distributions available for these
platforms -- see http://www.python.org/.
To port Python to a new non-UNIX system, you will have to fake the
effect of running the configure script manually (for Mac and PC, this
has already been done for you). A good start is to copy the file
config.h.in to config.h and edit the latter to reflect the actual
configuration of your system. Most symbols must simply be defined as
1 only if the corresponding feature is present and can be left alone
otherwise; however the *_t type symbols must be defined as some variant
of int if they need to be defined at all.
Miscellaneous issues
Emacs mode
There's an excellent Emacs editing mode for Python code; see the file
Misc/python-mode.el. Originally written by the famous Tim Peters, it
is now maintained by the equally famous Barry Warsaw (it's no
coincidence that they now both work on the same team). The latest
version, along with various other contributed Python-related Emacs
goodies, is online at http://www.python.org/emacs/python-mode. And
if you are planning to edit the Python C code, please pick up the
latest version of CC Mode http://www.python.org/emacs/cc-mode; it
contains a "python" style used throughout most of the Python C source
files. (Newer versions of Emacs or XEmacs may already come with the
latest version of python-mode.)
The Tk interface
Tk (the user interface component of John Ousterhout's Tcl language) is
also usable from Python. Since this requires that you first build and
install Tcl/Tk, the Tk interface is not enabled by default when
building Python from source. Python supports Tcl/Tk version 8.0 and
See http://dev.ajubasolutions.com/ for more info on Tcl/Tk, including
the on-line manual pages.
To enable the Python/Tk interface, once you've built and installed
Tcl/Tk, load the file Modules/Setup into your favorite text editor and
search for the string "_tkinter". Then follow the instructions found
there. If you have installed Tcl/Tk or X11 in unusual places, you
will have to edit the first line to fix or add the -I and -L options.
(Also see the general instructions at the top of that file.)
For more Tkinter information, see the Tkinter Resource page:
There are demos in the Demo/tkinter directory, in the subdirectories
guido, matt and www (the matt and guido subdirectories have been
overhauled to use more recent Tkinter coding conventions).
Note that there's a Python module called "Tkinter" (capital T) which
lives in Lib/lib-tk/Tkinter.py, and a C module called "_tkinter"
(lower case t and leading underscore) which lives in
Modules/_tkinter.c. Demos and normal Tk applications import only the
Python Tkinter module -- the latter uses the C _tkinter module
directly. In order to find the C _tkinter module, it must be compiled
and linked into the Python interpreter -- the _tkinter line in the
Setup file does this. In order to find the Python Tkinter module,
sys.path must be set correctly -- the TKPATH assignment in the Setup
file takes care of this, but only if you install Python properly
("make install libinstall"). (You can also use dynamic loading for
the C _tkinter module, in which case you must manually fix up sys.path
or set $PYTHONPATH for the Python Tkinter module.)

Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump with Carryall
- Product Review (submitted on August 1, 2009):
- I bought the pump in style with my first baby, and with my second one, I decided to switch to Ameda. I loved it, it has fast and slow settings, as well as suction settings, which you can personalize and leave. You could do that with the Medela pump, you had to set it each time. Drove me nuts! It is also much more portable, you can use it with the bag or take just the pump and accessories in your own diaper bag. The Medela pump was built into the bag. On top of everything, Ameda was recommended by my hospital and was far less expensive and cuter with the little blue hearts and "mommy's milk bag". Ameda has really personalized it's pump to meet many mom's needs. I wouldn't ever go back!

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) --- One in five students in DC Public Schools do not meet basic math and reading skills, according to assessment tests in 2012.
For Love Of Children (FLOC) strives to improve this statistic. The non-profit organization provides free tutoring, college prep and outdoor education for students from low-income families in the District and West Virginia.
Henry Ortiz, 10, gets tutored once a week at FLOC. He is trying to master his math homework. The one-on-one lessons have paid off.
"I've improved my division, definitley. And how to multiply and divide and add fractions," Ortiz said. He also reads books and plays card games like "Uno" while visiting FLOC.
For Love Of Children serves 600 low-income students. The goal is to give every student a strong foundation in math and reading, so they can go to college.
"If we can get a kid through to earn their college degree, they will break the cycle of poverty for their family," said Tim Payne, Executive Director of FLOC.
Tiera King is a shining example of FLOC's influence. Through the Scholars Program, King got prepared for her ACTs and SATs with FLOC. She also earned a four-year scholarship from the non-profit organization. During college, she says FLOC staff kept in touch with her and made sure she was on track for graduation.
"FLOC has really just been the extra support that I needed...I could never repay them for all of the services that they've done for me," King said.
The college graduate has volunteered witih FLOC through service with AmeriCorps VISTA this year. She plans to embark on enrolling in an MBA program this fall.
NOTE: Gannett Foundation has provided a grant to For Love Of Children.

A teacher accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student has pleaded guilty to sexual assault.
Terah Rawlings entered the guilty plea during a pre-trial readiness conference Thursday. Her trial was scheduled for February 4.
Rawlings was arrested in November 2011 on allegations that she had sex with a student numerous times between fall of 2007 and summer of 2008. The student was a sophomore at Hilltop Baptist School, where Rawlings taught, when the sexual encounters first started.
Rawlings' uncle Franklin "Wayne" Knight, Rawling's father Raymond "Allen" Knight, and former Hilltop Baptist School principal Jan Ocvirk, 51, were also arrested in November 2011 for not reporting the abuse to the proper authorities. Wayne Knight, the senior pastor at Hilltop Baptist Church and a former superintendent of the school, was also charged with accessory to a crime. Authorities said he "displayed a consistent pattern to manipulate and control the situation--not only among the faculty at Hilltop Baptist School--but also among parent, church members and students."
For the original story published November 2011, click here.
The Hilltop Baptist School was closed in May at the end of the 2010-2011 school year. A source at the church estimated they had more than 100 students. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office said the closure was unrelated to the sexual assault investigation.
Rawlings will be sentenced April 25.

When u say on the wall it reminds me that one of my 3pce cues iz on the wall here right now. Most of my 3pce combos hav a slight bend koz I am mixing shaft-pces and mid-pces. If Eliminator midjoints were all perfikt there wouldn't be a bend -- actually they would hav a slight bend koz I don't do a good job of taking wood off the shaft-pces (when i take the 13mm down to 9mm).
Anyhow most of the shafts need (a bit of) straightening (partly koz of my mixing, partly koz of my unwooding). So i poke the cue throo a brass bracket under my billiard room shelving, and let the cues wt take the bend out of the shaft-pce. This duznt work very well, it takes a long long time (and then the silly shafts slowly get their bend back). So, this time, i hung a book over the butt to get more pressure, and i left the cue on the wall for almost 2 weeks (while i went to Adelaide). When i got back i found i had overdunn it, the shaft-pce had a bend the other way. I layed the cue on my table for a few days, waiting for the unbend to start ununbending, but nothing. So now the cue iz on the wall again but the opposite way, but this time i aint uzing that there book (not yet anyhow).
For a while back there i had four cues poking throo brackets under my shelving, all getting unbent.

Remember Travis and the window from the Evaluate Numerical Expressions Involving Mixed Numbers Concept?
After measuring the window, Travis worked the rest of the day helping his Uncle Larry and Mr. Wilson cut the hole for the window.
When they finished, they examined their work and felt good about what they had accomplished. The total height of the wall is 8 ft. Travis is curious about the distance from the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling. He knows that there is going to be crown molding that goes around the edge of the room when finished, and he hopes that he can help select the style of crown molding.
Travis knows that the window is on a wall that is 8 ft high, and he knows that the distance from the floor to the top of the window space is inches. Given this information, what is the distance from the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling? Travis is stuck on how to work through this problem. He knows that he will need to convert the 8 foot wall to inches and then subtract, but he can't remember exactly how to do the subtraction.
This is where you come in. To accomplish this task, Travis will need to know how to subtract mixed numbers with renaming. This Concept will help you learn all that you need to know!!
Previously we worked on renaming fractions when we have two different denominators.
To rename a fraction means that we are going to take the fractions and write an equivalent fraction that has a common denominator.
This is an example of renaming one-third to be three-ninths. The fractions are equivalent or equal, but the second fraction has a denominator of 9.
Sometimes when we subtract mixed numbers, we must rename the mixed numbers in a different way.
What does this mean? It means that when we are subtracting a mixed number from a whole number, we must rename to subtract correctly.
Here, we are trying to take a fraction from a whole number. We have to RENAME this whole number to do this.
How can we rename 6 to have a whole number part and a fraction part?
Think back. Remember when we learned that any fraction where the numerator and the denominator are the same that the fraction is equal to one?
or or
Do you remember this? Well, if we can take one and rename it as a fraction, then we can use that to help us in our subtraction.
In the problem above, we need to take 6 and make it a mixed number so that we can subtract. To do this, we borrow a one from the six and make it five. Then we take that one and make it into a fraction that has sixths as a denominator since that is the denominator of the fraction we are subtracting.
Next, we rewrite the problem.
This is our final answer..
Sometimes, we also have to rename a mixed number if the fraction we are subtracting is larger than the first fraction.
At first glance, this problem looks simple. We have two mixed numbers. This is unlike the first example where we had a whole number and a mixed number. But watch out!! This one is tricky. Four-ninths is larger than one-ninth. We cannot subtract four-ninths from one-ninth.
To make this work, we have to rename the top mixed number!
How do we do this? We can do this by changing the whole number six into five and nine-ninths-then we add that to the one-ninth to make a larger fraction.
Now we can rewrite the problem and subtract.
Notice that we simplified, so this is our final answer.
Sometimes, you will find numerical expressions that have multiple operations in them, but will that will still require renaming.
To work on this problem, we need to think of it as two separate problems. Working in order from left to right, we complete the subtraction problem first and then add the final mixed number to the difference.
To work on this problem, we first need to rename 5. We rename it to a mixed number equivalent of 5 with a fraction in eighths.
Now we can subtract easily.
Next, we add this mixed number with the last mixed number in the original expression.
Notice that we ended up with an extra whole at the end.
This is our answer in simplest form.
Try a few of these on your own. Be sure your answer is in simplest form.
Example A
Example B
Rename 8 as an equivalent mixed number.
Example C
Now back to the window problem. Let's see how Travis can find an answer to this problem.
Travis knows that the window is on a wall that is 8 ft high, and he knows that the distance from the floor to the top of the window space is inches.
Given this information, what is the distance from the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling?
Travis is stuck on how to work through this problem. He knows that he will need to convert the 8 foot wall measurement to inches and then subtract,but he can't remember exactly how to do the subtraction.
Let's convert the 8 ft wall into inches since our window measurement is in inches.
There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 12 8 = 96 inches. The wall is 96 inches high.
Next, we subtract the total from the floor to the top of the window space from the height of the wall.
To do this, we are going to need to rename 96 in terms of eighths.
Now we can subtract.
From the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling is inches.
- Rename
- to write an equivalent form of a whole number or a fraction.
- Equivalent
- equal
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
You will have to subtract these mixed numbers by renaming.
This is the answer.

Known for visually arresting, intricately staged, and often disturbing black and white photographs, South Africa-based photographer Roger Ballen's latest book, Asylum for the Birds once again finds the artist constructing tableaus that combine the fantastical with the unsettling. Six years in the making and all shot on location within the interior confines of an undisclosed suburban Johannesburg home, Ballen's images tap into a tension that for many, like a good rubbernecking, links the distressing with the entrancing.
Birds are recurrent throughout Ballen's series. In Alter Ego (2010), a painted, solitary figure grasping doves in both hands, peers out from behind a crude cutout mask, the walls behind him dense with childlike sketches of faces and other symbols. Meanwhile, in Liberation (2011), a pair of seated models, one headless and cradling a latex head in his mask flanks a dove mid-flight. Ballen's models include political refugees from war-torn locales such as Somalia and Congo, prison and mental hospital escapees, and anonymous run-aways. A gathering point for those living on the margins of society, in many ways Ballen's Asylum is carnivalesque with the rough, sideshow character of the props and sets hinting at a playful subversiveness.
Last year, Ballen teamed up with the avant-garde South African rave rap duo Die Antwoord to direct the video for their track, "I Fink U Freeky" (click through the slideshow to watch). With over 43 million views on YouTube to date, posted comments run the gamut, with one viewer writing, "One of the weirdest videos I've ever seen." While filming, Ballen met longtime Die Antwoord collaborator, Ben Crossman, and the two subsequently began working together. To accompany the release of Asylum for the Birds, Crossman directed a short film (above) that offers a rare view into the hidden, dystopic universe Ballen has created for himself and the few who inhabit it. While Crossman's film offers us only fleeting glimpses, what is revealed of Ballen's world will no doubt linger far longer.
Asylum of the Birds is published by Thames and Hudson and will be available in early April. For more information, visit www.rogerballen.com

Henry was born in New York City to a woman named Rosemary Martinkus and was later discovered to be the son of Tom Endecott, the later patriarch of the wealthy Endecott family. He had two half-sisters, named Alexa and Sarah Endecott. A few years after he was born, his mother filled a paternity suit against Tom which he made go away, leaving Henry feeling betrayed and neglected. This manifested itself as a (rather disproportionate) murderous rage which in turn prompted him to become a serial killer and he began killing people: when he was about 23, he killed three nurses in Midtown, New York City, and was tried and convicted for the murders. While under psychological evaluation, his doctor, Miles Feldstein, let it slip that his clients were the Endecotts and that on Alexa's 21st birthday she would inherit $3 million. Henry later met a man named Vincent Rosetti, who confided in him about a murder he committed in Miami, that of Lydia Johnson. He then uses this information to get him a plane ride down to Miami where he arranged to meet his girlfriend, Joann Nivens, with whom he corresponded in prison, and forced a fellow inmate, Ken Hastings, to sabotage the plane to make an emergency landing at Opa-Locka Airport. While he was describing the events of Lydia Johnson's killing, he left subtle clues as to where to find her body.
Felony Ebin
However, things do not go as planned when the pilots overshoot it and are forced to crash in an open field. The resulting crash ends up killing the pilots and Henry killing the present U.S. Marshal for his gun. Four college students driving by stop to see if everyone is okay, only for Henry to confront and kill them all and then force Ken into the students' car, which they escape in. Henry then takes him to Miami University, where he attacks three college girls for information on his sister before shooting and killing two of them and hiding the third in a storage room to suffocate in; this student survives and is rescued. Having the information he needs, he abandons Ken and the car to find Alexa. He travels to the Coco Riding Club where he shoots and injures a security guard, taking his weapon in the process, and takes Alexa hostage. He then steals the security guard's car and drives off with her.
Meanwhile, the Miami CSI team are busy investigating Henry's killing spree and Horatio Caine realizes that the killings are connected to the 2004 triple homicide in New York. A while or so later, Mac Taylor, head of the New York Crime Lab, arrives in Miami to assist in the investigation, as he was one of the officers who arrested Henry back in 2004. Horatio makes a call and gets connected to the stolen security car, then hands the phone to Mac. Henry recognizes Mac's voice, for Mac was present at his trial, and taunts him for having to get help from Horatio. Mac ignores the comment and points out that the car has GPS and they will find him. Henry replies that they will find him when he wants them to before destroying the GPS in the vehicle. He then finds another car, kills the driver, steals the car, and wishes Alexa a happy birthday, but leaves behind the location of the woman who he is accused of killing for CSI's to find. He then goes to Opa-Locke Airport where Joann Nivens is by her car. Henry takes the money and takes her private jet to New York with Alexa still as hostage, prompting Mac to return to New York, with Horatio coming along to help while also hoping to fulfill a promise he made to a young boy whose mother was killed in Miami.
Manhattan Manhunt
Henry forces Alexa into her home where they interrupt a farm party. He tells them that Alexa's bedroom is where they wish to go. They then enter the vault where Darius is expecting the $3 million, but is surprised to learn that it is not there. Thinking Alexa betrayed him, he kills her as well as the six college students partying downstairs. He makes his escape, snapping the neck of a guard in his way, effectively killing him. He then goes to see Dr. Feldstein, threatening his life. The CSI's are not far behind, but Henry managed to make his escape by switching clothes with a window cleaner at gunpoint, leaving behind a card with a number written on the back of it. Mac believes that the number 2470 is the exact same train Henry is taking.
Mac decides to take that train and find out why Darius killed the three nurses. On the train, Henry tells Mac that he cannot control his killings, and that he hoped Mac would tell him why he killed those three women. He then stabs a passenger in the neck and gives Mac the ultimatum: either catch him and let the passenger die or let him escape and save the passenger. Mac chooses to save the man, which gave Henry the momentum to escape again. Henry then heads to the Endecott home, this time to kill Sarah. The detectives arrive in time to catch Henry. In jail, Mac visits Henry, and he thanks Mac for helping him. Mac tells Henry that he just caught him and put him in jail, telling him that he hopes the son of a bitch rots in Hell.
Modus Operandi
Henry usually killed his victims by shooting them with stolen handguns, though he also used other methods such as stabbing or neck-snapping when the situation called for it. His signature involved shooting multiple victims once in the head each execution-style while they were face-down with their hands behind their backs. After he kills them, he usually played in his victims' blood, splattering it all over the walls, causing a big mess.
Henry's need to kill stems from his hatred of his half-sisters getting all of his father's attention and as such, he was driven to kill surrogates that represented them. Like most serial killers, Henry is incapable of feeling any guilt, mercy, or even remorse for his actions, and as such, he won't stop his murderous sprees until he's finally caught. But unlike most serial killers, he goes on multiple killing sprees with very short cooling-off periods and kills multiple victims at once.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

In the mornings when I wake up from sleep either my right hand or my left hand or sometime both are tingling and numb. After a short time they are back to normal and don't bother me the rest of the day. At first I thought I was sleeping on my hand at night, but I don't think there is anyway I'm sleeping on both of them...Should I be worried about this?:confused:Reply Follow This Thread Stop Following This Thread Flag this Discussion

Governor Rick Scott is out of the state Wednesday mourning the loss of his mother.
Esther Scott died Tuesday at the age of 84.
Esther first made her debut in Florida politics in 2010, appearing in TV ads for her son and helping Scott pull off a razor thin victory.
Deputy Secretary of Health, Dennis Cookro held a moment of silence Wednesday at the state capitol in honor of Ester. "I've been through that in the past and it's not a nice thing to lose your mother and I'd like to just ask for a very quick moment of silence for Governor Scott's mother."
After his mother's passing Scott tweeted this message: "My Mom… one of the only constants in my life… has passed away. Ann and I are comforted by all the thoughts and prayers for our family."

About two dozen people rallied outside the Onslow County Courthouse Monday trying and get prayer back into our schools.
Baysden Chapel Church of Richlands headed up the rally. Several other churches in the area also participated.
Those at the rally held up signs and encouraged people to honk to get their message across.
David Jarman was the prayer leader. Jarman says, "We're trying to get prayer instituted back into our schools, back into our homes. This nation was founded under God, and we believe in the power of prayer, and if God was back where it belongs, we'd see a great change in our nation and in our kids and that's our purpose."
This group will be rallying again Wednesday. They plan on meeting from 9:00 until 11:00 in the morning in front the school board building in Jacksonville.

Travelers Companies Inc. Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (TRV)
TheStreet) -- Travelers Companies (NYSE: TRV) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of A . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance and attractive valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Insurance industry. The net income increased by 159.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $333.00 million to $864.00 million.
- TRV's revenue growth trails the industry average of 21.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- TRV's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.25 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period. Although other factors naturally played a role, the company's strong earnings growth was key. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
