+Build Instructions
+------------------
-See PEP 375 for release details: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0375/
+On Unix, Linux, BSD, OSX, and Cygwin:
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make test
+ sudo make install
-Documentation
--------------
+This will install Python as python3.
-Documentation for Python 3.1 is online, updated twice a day:
+You can pass many options to the configure script; run "./configure
+--help" to find out more. On OSX and Cygwin, the executable is called
+python.exe; elsewhere it's just python.
- http://docs.python.org/dev/3.1/
+On Mac OS X, if you have configured Python with --enable-framework,
+you should use "make frameworkinstall" to do the installation. Note
+that this installs the Python executable in a place that is not
+normally on your PATH, you may want to set up a symlink in
+/usr/local/bin.
-All documentation is also available online at the Python web site
-(http://docs.python.org/, see below). It is available online for
-occasional reference, or can be downloaded in many formats for faster
-access. The documentation is downloadable in HTML, PostScript, PDF,
-LaTeX (through 2.5), and reStructuredText (2.6+) formats; the LaTeX and
-reStructuredText versions are primarily for documentation authors,
-translators, and people with special formatting requirements.
+On Windows, see PCbuild/readme.txt.
+
+If you wish, you can create a subdirectory and invoke configure from
+there. For example:
+
+ mkdir debug
+ cd debug
+ ../configure --with-pydebug
+ make
+ make test
+
+(This will fail if you *also* built at the top-level directory. You
+should do a "make clean" at the toplevel first.)

-Enhancement Proposal (PEP) may be submitted if your idea gains ground. All

Converting From Python 2.x to 3.x
needs to be changed, such as optional warnings when deprecated features are
used, and backported versions of certain key Python 3.x features.
+A source-to-source translation tool, "2to3", can take care of the mundane task
+of converting large amounts of source code. It is not a complete solution but
+is complemented by the deprecation warnings in 2.6. See
+http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/2to3.html for more information.
