Announcing Pyrite, a comprehensive package of tools allowing access to
Palm Computing platform devices and their data from the Python
programming language.  Formerly known as PalmPython, Pyrite provides a
high-level, object-oriented, extensible interface to data on and
related to a Palm Computing platform handheld, both on the local disk
and on the device.  Pyrite is free software, available for use under
the GNU Library General Public License, v2.

Pyrite 0.7.1 adds several small enhancements to the basic database
object and to the Doc plug-in, and fixes a minor installation bug.

Pyrite 0.7.0 was a major new development release.  In 0.7.x, Pyrite
has undergone an extensive design overhaul and reorganization; many
parts of the medium to high level programming interface are new or
different than in previous versions.  User-visible functionality
should not be affected; however, if you have written your own plug-ins
or other code which uses Pyrite, DO NOT install a 0.7.x version over
the previous ones until you have read the documentation!

The latest release of Pyrite can be downloaded from the URL shown
above.

Pyrite requires the Python language, version 1.5 or newer, and the
pilot-link library.  Python is available at <http://www.python.org/>,
and pilot-link is at <ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.edu/pub/PalmOS/>.
