Chapter 1. SETTING UP YOUR DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

Before you can experience the art of gray hat Python programming, you must work through the least exciting portion of this book, setting up your development environment. It is essential that you have a solid development environment, which allows you to spend time absorbing the interesting information in this book rather than stumbling around trying to get your code to execute.

This chapter quickly covers the installation of Python 2.5, configuring your Eclipse development environment, and the basics of writing C-compatible code with Python. Once you have set up the environment and understand the basics, the world is your oyster; this book will show you how to crack it open.
