Python Newbie. Python on PPC, please assist.

[pythonnewbie]

Many thanks for your help! I now have Python 2.3.4 installed and running on
the ppc :) You are correct I had to get the ARM release for my device, and
the murkworks one certainly seems to be out of date.
The pythonCE mailing list sounds great- any idea how i can join this?
You mentioned Tk/Tkinter and Tk/Tcl- are these two different development
enviroments?
I had heard about the raw_input limitation, and also heard that the solution
was to use a dialog box for text input.. I am yet to find out how to put in
a dialog box (there doesn't appear to be a function to get text input from a
dialog box...) being so new to all this...
You mentioned that the port had just the standard lib.. Is there any (easy)
way of adding extra libs? I wanted to add the easygame lib and I put it in
what I thought was the appropriate folder on the PPC, and it wouldn't
recognise it.... I put the .pyc easygame lib in, as well as the .py, as all
the files in the folder appeared to be complied ones (.pyc). Still no luck.
Many thanks again for all your help!
P.S. I am new to newsgroups too... I am using Outlook Express to post,
however the replies don't seem to show up in Outlook Express.. When I check
in Outlook Express, it says my original message has no replies, but when I
checked using Google groups, hey presto- there were your two replies! Any
ideas what I'm doing wrong?
