ANNOUNCING:
                 eGenix.com mxCGIPython Version 0.5.0

            An easy-to-install one-file Python Interpreter

________________________________________________________________________

WHAT IS IT ?:

mxCGIPython is a project to provide a complete ready-to-run
Python interpreter in one single executable file. The main
intent for supplying such a single file executable is to 
ease deployment of Python for CGI scripting even when the ISP
is not willing or able to install Python for you.

The mxCGIPython archive contains everything needed to build
the one file interpreter. The web page provides a set of links
to contributed binaries for direct use in addition to setup
instructions to get the binaries up and running at your ISP.

See the documentation page for a list of available binary
packages. Binaries for new platforms are always welcome :-)

________________________________________________________________________

WHAT'S NEW ?

Version 0.5.0 now supports importing shared modules using
the pre-compiled cgipython binary.

Since all the already existing binaries don't support this
yet, I'm looking for volunteers to send in compiled versions
for all the popular platforms (e.g. different Linux distros,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, AIX, Sun Cobalt, etc.).

WHERE CAN I GET IT ?

The download archives and instructions for installing the packages can
be found at:

     http://www.egenix.com/files/python/

________________________________________________________________________

WHAT DOES IT COST ?

The packages comes with a Python 2.0 style license, which means
that you can use them in both commercial and non-commercial settings
without fee or charge.

The binaries are covered by the usual Python licenses.
