Short: Clear-Screen and Beep for Python. Author: wisecracker@tesco.net (Barry Walker) Uploader: wisecracker tesco net (Barry Walker) Type: dev/src Version: 0.00.60 Architecture: generic; m68k-amigaos Distribution: Public Domain, Emailware. ============================================================================ Architectures: Classic AMIGAs, WinUAE, Windows, Linux and E-UAE. ---------------------------------------------------------------- MINIMUM Requirements Are:- -------------------------- 1) Amiga environment:- 68EC020 CPU and 2MB RAM total, example, a standard A1200(HD). WinUAE, AF2005 minimum. Standard OS3.0x install or better. Full Python 1.4.x, minimum, installed. (Python 1.5.2 to 2.0.x are also available on AMINET.) 2) Windows environment:- Windows Vista and 7 from Python 2.0.1 to 3.3.2. 3) Linux environment:- Python 2.5.2 for PCLinuxOS 2009, Debian from Python 2.5.6 to 3.2.2. 4) Apple OSX 10.7.x and higher from Python 2.5.6 to 3.4.1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- History:- --------- 23-11-2014. ----------- Version 0.00.60. Major changes and added Apple OSX into the platforms. 14-04-2012. ----------- Version 0.00.50. Correct an error and re-upload! Doh! 13-04-2012. ----------- Version 0.00.40. Added a generic clear screen and beep for all platforms. It now works on ALL versions of Python, as of this date! 03-10-2010. ----------- Version 0.00.30. Changed the Windows access to include Vista, (and 7?). 04-08-2009. ----------- Version 0.00.20. Added a generic Linux version. 01-11-2008. ----------- Version 0.00.10. Probably the one and only upload for this archive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- General:- --------- This simple Python file gives Python the ability to clear a window or screen AND provide an error beep for your usage inside your Python code. It is designed to work on nearly ALL AMIGA platforms and Windows platforms from Windows Vista and 7, to current using Python from version 1.4.x to version 3.4.1 in Command Prompt Mode. It is also for Linux flavours running Python from a terminal/console. Apple OSX 10.7.5 and above in terminal mode is now included. The Python code is `clr.py.txt` and is uncompressed. On downloading just rename `clr.py.txt` to `clsbeep.py` and then place it into the `Lib` drawer/folder/directory where Python is installed. Read the comments inside the code on how to use it. From a Python prompt it is called in module form as:- >>> import clsbeep Read the code for more information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This archive is now issued under the MIT licence.

E-UAE on the same machine using Python 1.4.0 to 2.0.1. Classic standard AMIGA A1200 using Python 1.4.0. Windows Vista on a Quad Core machine using Python 2.0.1 to 3.3.2. PCLinuxOS 2009 and Knoppix 5.1.1 using Python 2.5.2. WinUAE on the Windows Vista machine above using Python 1.4.0 to 2.0.1. Apple MacBook Pro, OSX 10.7.5 using Python 2.5.6 to 3.4.1. All WinUAE and Classic AMIGA test conditions were/are running standard OS3.0x/OS3.1x and using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout. I have no idea what strange configuration setups will create so refer to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact:- --------- Mr Barry Walker, G0LCU.
