    99+ PIL (also known as Imaging or the Python Imaging Library)

    1112INSTALLATION: 
    12 As root or administrator, execute the following shell command: 
    13     python setup.py install 
     13Windows: run 'win_setup.bat' 
     14Mac or Linux: As root or administrator, execute the following shell command: 
     15    python setup.py install 
    1416 
    1517That's it!  
    1618 
    17 But... if you have trouble, and for whatever reason the setup.py doesn't 
    18 work, just add a file named 'dabo.pth' to your site-packages directory, 
     19 
     20OTHER STUFF: 
     21There are two other directories in the same folder as this file: 'demo' and  
     22'ide'. They contain useful programs (written in Dabo, of course!) to help 
     23you explore and develop with Dabo. You should move these to a convenient  
     24folder on your system, such as 'My Documents\Dabo' on Windows, or '~/dabo' on  
     25Linux or Mac. 
     26 
     27The 'demo' folder contains the DaboDemo application, which shows off a lot of 
     28the cool things in Dabo. This is still a work-in-progress, with more demos 
     29being added all the time. Be sure to check the website for updates! 
     30 
     31The 'ide' folder contains our visual tools, such as the Class Designer, which 
     32you can use to visually design your UI; the connection editor ('CxnEditor'), 
     33which is used to create connections to database servers, as well as several  
     34other useful visual tools.  
     35 
     36 
     37HAVING PROBLEMS? 
     38But... if you have trouble installing, and for whatever reason the setup.py  
     39doesn't work, just add a file named 'dabo.pth' to your site-packages directory, 
    1940with the path to dabo e.g. '/home/pmcnett/projects/dabo'.
