LATEST NEWS [4/29/2005]: These pages have just moved to a NEW SERVER. The site might be under construction for some time.
LATEST NEWS [1/23/2004]: Attention Windows XP Users: The Windows .EXE for Pythoñol/PyBabelPhish does NOT run on Windows XP. However, it's known to run on Win98/95. So, XP users are just out of luck. Do NOT report this as a 'bug': the 'bug' is XP impersonating an operating system.
LATEST NEWS [1/22/2004]: Pythoñol 2.1 is now available: Major installation bug fix, Python 2.3 and Mac OS X compatibility, a database upgrade, and user interface improvements.

PARENTS, GUARDIANS, AND EDUCATORS: Please see the section Making Pythoñol Child-Friendly for information about making your copy of Pythoñol more appropriate for users under the age of 18 and why such special copies are most suitable for younger users. Critical Update: If you are currently using a child-friendly version of Pythoñol 2.0, you should upgrade immediately to version 2.1 or higher, as version 2.0 has a bug which allows 'inappropriate' content into the databases. This problem has been fixed in version 2.1, and my apologies are offered to anyone inconvenienced by this problem. I will always work to keep Child-Friendly versions as clean and safe as possible.

Pythoñol is distributed free-of-charge, and open source, under the terms of the Free Education Initiative License.

If you are a teacher or instructor using this software for your students, I would LOVE to hear from you. If you are using Pythoñol to teach students, please email me and let me know. I would be very pleased to know if some student somewhere is benefitting from Pythoñol. Suggestions, comments, and corrections are always welcome, especially from Spanish teachers/instructors and other linguistics experts.

NOTE: Pythoñol is a LINUX application. It was initially designed for Linux and will always be a Linux/Unix application FIRST. However, a ported version of Pythoñol has been created for Windows. Somebody I care about asked me for a Windows version, so I made one. However, Pythoñol for Windows has NOT been as extensively tested as Pythoñol for Linux. The Pythoñol Suite is also known to run on Mac OS X systems. Nevertheless, users of non-Linux operating systems should NOT expect the same stability and quality as the Linux version, and some features are missing in the Windows and Mac OS X versions (most notably, printing and speech support.) So users of Windows, Mac OS X, and other non-Linux operating systems should not expect complete perfection.

TESTING ENVIRONMENT
Pythoñol, PyBabelPhish, PyPrint, and PyInstallShield have been tested in the following environment: SuSe 8.1., Mandrake 8.2, Kernel 2.4.8-34 - 2.4.19, Glibc 2.2, Python 2.2, PyGTK 0.6.9-1 - 0.6.9-3 (for Pythoñol versions 1.1 and lower) and PyGtk-2 2.00 (for Pythoñol version 2.0 and above), Gtk+ 1.2.8-4 - Gtk+ 1.2.8-10 (for Pythoñol versions 1.1 and lower) and Gtk+ 2.0.0 (for Pythoñol version 2.0 and above). PyPrint has been tested with: LPRng 3.8.12, a2ps 4.13, ImageMagick 5.4.8, and Ghostscript 7.0.3. Older versions of Pythoñol, PyBabelPhish, and PyInstallShield have been tested on Windows 98 running Python 2.1, Gtk 1.3.0, and PyGtk 0.6.9. Alot of Linux distributions have 'xalf' running - I have 'xalf' REMOVED from my system as it tended to make Python apps hang on startup and not run correctly. These applications run well with at least 64MB of memory and a pentium-grade processor or better. Some older computers I've gotten these applications to run well on include: an older CTX EzBook laptop with 64MB/233 Mhz/AMD Processor, Compact Presario 5050 64MB/333 Mhz/Celeron Processor (Pentium II equiv.), and an old box with 128MB/233 Mhz/Pentium I. No special graphics cards or hardware/3D accelerators are required.
