This is a binary installation package for Armin Rigo's Psyco 
(Python Specializing Compiler) extension module for Python, v1.4, 
built for the OS/2+EMX port of Python 2.4.

The source archive this package is based on was found at
  http://psyco.sourceforge.net/

Please refer to the COPYING.psyco (MIT Licence), README.psyco files 
for more information about psyco, as well as the psyco web page above.
Please note in particular Armin's notes about this being 
_EXPERIMENTAL_ software.

All components were built with the Distutils setup.py scripts from 
the source archives, with no modifications to either source or 
setup scripts.  Most of the test suite passed; those that didn't 
appear to be relying on unsupported standard library modules, but
I haven't spent a lot of time checking - caveat utilitor!!

You need the Python 2.4 port installed before you can install this 
package - you should be able to get it where you obtained this 
archive.

To install (assuming a working Python installation), change to the 
directory containing the install script (install.cmd), and execute the 
script.  If you have an older version of psyco installed, the script 
will terminate with an error message - you will need to delete the 
psyco subdirectory of the %PYTHONHOME%/Lib/site-packages directory 
and retry the script.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems with the installation 
package.  Bug reports about psyco should be directed to the bug tracker 
at Sourceforge.

This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty.
In no event will the packager be held liable for any damages arising from 
the use of the software.
