A first alpha version of AmigaPython 2.3.3 is available, a port of the latest
Python-Revision.

be found" please insert in the file
lib/python2.1/amigapath.py
after the line
extsep = '.'
the following line:
os.extsep = extsep
Also you need the ASSIGN: Python onto the drawer Python is installed in.

Spiegel Online: Troll you, Trolls!
In an online offer of the news magazine Spiegel, Frank Patalong authored a comment about the theme "Behavior on the Internet" that was very interesting for a few users: "the Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Prime Minister Harald Ringstorff didn't want to let it pass: an email writer called him an "arrogant, ignorant hysteric."" Ringstorff complained about the insult. Hopefully a school didn't do that - neither the one nor the other. Read the complete article at Spiegel Online under the title link. (nba) (Translation: dm)

Game publisher: "DiscreetFX GameShop"
Software developers "DiscreetFX", known for recently initiating the "Amizilla" campaign, are going to support game developers in the future:
"DiscreetFX GameShop allows Amiga/AmigaOS 4.0/MorphOS & AROS game developers to focus on what their good at, developing a great game. Game Shop takes care of everything else, free web hosting, marketing, promotion, packaging and shipping. Free toll free number for sales and support, free downloads of demo versions of the game and works in progress from the GameShop web site.
In these sometimes troubled economic times GameShop fulfills a much needed requirement in this small but regrowing community. It gives new, small, resource hungry game developers a place to publish and host their games. Not all games that are submitted will make the cut but the ones that make it will have a lot less to worry about and can focus on making the best game possible. In the past the Amiga launched the careers of many great game developers. Bullfrog, Core Design & EA just to name a few. With GameShop we hope to spark some new careers for new game developers.
Today's game industry is rift with old worn out ideas that have be rehashed time and time again, have you played to many FPS or RTS games? With GameShop we are hoping to nurture new game developers with fresh ideas for the gaming industry. Now being broke does not mean your great game idea will not be published.
2004 should be a banner year for Amiga & Amiga compatible systems. All those new customers will need relaxing and entertaining games on their systems. And new game authors need free web hosting and low cost no nonsense publishing terms to get their titles available to that user base.
Would you like your game published through the Game Shop? Here are the steps you need to take.
- Contact us at gameshop AT discreetfx DOT com
- Be ready to provided details about your game including screen shots, demo versions, development track record and or story boards
