1.5. A Note about Platforms
My day-to-day programming environment is a mixture of Windows NT™ 4.0 and Red Hat® Linux 6.0. These are the two platforms that the software presented in this book has been developed and tested on.
Although the book focuses on Windows NT and Linux, the Python programs in the book and in the CD-ROM's root directory should run just fine on any Win32 or Unix® platform. There will obviously be the usual assortment of differences to do with default installation directories, differing shells, and so on. I have not attempted to cover all the eventualities in this book. To do so would make it twice as long and ten times more tedious to read.
