Miscellaneous stuff

These are various extra utilities and extensions.

The t_op-2.0b1-R.diff.gz is a (reversed) patch that provides tilde-style operators, like ~+, ~-, etc. It also adds xor as a keyword (opinion needed for the semantics of xor). See PEP-operator for detailed discussions of the extension.

To build python with these operators, do the following:

Download Python 2.0.b1 source
Untar the source in an appropriate dir
cd Python-2.0b1; patch -R -p1 /path/to/t_op-2.0b1-R.diff.gz
edit Modules/Setup according to your need (eg. using GNU readline)
./configure
make
(optionally) make test
make install

The qdindex.py is a python program for "Quick and dirty indexing" which generates the page your are looking at.
