Python XPCOM Package

Version 0.91 - January 2001

This is the readme for the Python interface to XPCOM.

XPCOM is an acronym for "Cross Platform COM".  It has come out of the Mozilla project, which maintains the main XPCOM project pages.  The Python XPCOM package is a set of Python bindings to XPCOM, allowing a Python programmer to both use and implement XPCOM interfaces.  If you don't know what Python is, then none of this probably interests you at all!

This readme has links to the following information:

Note: This package requires Python 1.6 or later; we recommend using the latest official Python version (currently 2.0).  This package works very well with the latest ActivePython, and does not require any external modules or packages beyond what is provided in the core Python release for each platform.
