4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
Dive Into Python is a book for developers using the Python
programming language. It is an open-source community project that
is available is several formats, including printed book, but this
proposal will add the HTML format version of the book into
OpenSolaris. Dive Into Python is already included in several
Linux distributions.
The book is available from the community in several languages.
This proposal will initially add the English language edition. If
sufficient interest is expressed, we will consider adding some or
all of the additional languages.
This proposal adds Dive Into Python 5.4, the latest version, to
OpenSolaris. This version of the book is applicable to all
versions of the Python language and discusses versions of Python
up to 2.3.2.
A .desktop menu file will be provided to display the book with
the user's configured browser (via the gnome-open command). This
will show up in the Developer Tools section of the Launch menu.
This proposal seeks Minor release binding.
4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):
None.
4.3. In Scope:

4.4. Out of Scope:

4.6. Doc Impact:
The project consists entirely of documentation.
4.7. Admin/Config Impact:
None.
4.8. HA Impact:
None.
4.9. I18N/L10N Impact:
The JDS and G11N teams are working together to evaluate and provide
I18N/L10N support.
Localized translations of the book may, in future, be added to
OpenSolaris but these will be taken from the Dive Into Python
community and would not be created by Sun. In-house localization
will be restricted to the .desktop menu file and other minor
additions.
4.10. Packaging & Delivery:
Adds one new package, SUNWdiveintopython.
4.11. Security Impact:
None.
4.12. Dependencies:
This package depends of the software listed in the Imported
Interfaces section.
In addition, although not strict dependencies, a Web Browser
and a Python interpreter will obviously be needed to make best
use of the book.
