| | 3 | * Python commandline interpreter, and libraries. |
| | 4 | * The interpreter can be invoked as python in the osgeo4w shell. |
| | 5 | * The Python interpreter is ''not'' associated with the .py extension in the shell, so you can run .py files directly. |
| | 6 | * Documentation is not included (beyond builtin doc strings) |
| | 7 | * Tcl support is not included. |
| | 8 | * [wiki:pkg-python-numpy NumPy] is a distinct add on package due to it's size. |

| | 10 | == Packager Notes == |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | * This package is harvested from the standard Python 2.5.2 .msi installer from python.org. |
| | 13 | * New Python extensions should be unpacked in ''osgeo4w''\apps\Python25\Lib\site-packages |
| | 14 | * Include files and libraries are included, but in the apps\Python25 tree. The distutils/sysconfig.py settings should be correct. |
| | 15 | * Extensions may need to be compiled with VC7.1 to be compatible. |
| | 16 | * etc\ini\python.bat set PYTHONHOME to control sys.prefix and finding of libraries, etc. This should supercede any other python on the system when python is run within the OSGeo4W shell. |
