>    This book is a guide to using Pyrite, a library which provides
    access to Palm Computing platform devices and their data using the
    Python language.  It describes Pyrite's design and the rationale
    behind it, and is a reference to the contents and usage of each
    part of Pyrite.
  </P
><P
>    This book is targeted at readers who are already familiar with
    Python programming, and generally acquainted with the Palm
    Computing platform.  Experience with programming applications for
    the Palm Computing platform is helpful, but not required. However,
    if you are not familiar with how the Palm Computing platform
    works, I recommend reading the Palm Computing SDK documentation
    (especially part 3) and the Conduit Development Kit documentation.
    (Both are available in PDF format from the Palm Computing web site
    at <TT

>    Pyrite is based on Sulfur, a Python application framework.  Some
    parts of this document will assume that you are already familiar
    with Sulfur; please read the Sulfur documentation before working
    with Pyrite.

      the future, it will be expanded to multiple parts, and include
      in-depth information about Pyrite application and plug-in
      development.
