======================================================================
Psyco, the Python Specializing Compiler
======================================================================
VERSION 1.4
-----------
Psyco is a Python extension module which can massively speed up the
execution of any Python code.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
Psyco works on any recent version of Python (currently 2.1 to 2.4).
At present it *requires* a *PC* (i.e. a 386-compatible processor),
but it is OS-independant.
This program is still incomplete, but still it seems to have been
quite stable for some time and can give good results.
Note that Psyco works a bit better with Python versions starting
from 2.2.2.
QUICK INTRODUCTION
------------------
To install Psyco, do the usual
python setup.py install
Manually, you can also put the 'psyco' package in your Python search
path, e.g. by copying the subdirectory 'psyco' into the directory
'/usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages' (default path on Linux).
Basic usage is very simple: add
import psyco
psyco.full()
to the beginning of your main script. For basic introduction see:
import psyco
help(psyco)
