 Python ( http://www.python.org  )
 A very cool programming language.
 At the time of this writing Python 2.3.2 is the most recent stable release available as a bz2  or a gzip
 
 wxPython ( http://www.wxpython.org  )
 A blending of the wxWindows  C++ class library with the Python  programming language.
 At the time of this writing wxPython 2.4.2.4 is the most recent stable release available at: http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#sources
 
 To install wxPython it requires
 - glib and gtk+ (these are already installed with VL4.0 with Xwindows)
 
 
 Installing wxPython
 
 Again I installed wxPython with most defaults, I didn't install any openGL stuff (see step 3).
 
 After you've downloaded wxPython in /tmp
 1. untar it:
 
 'cd /tmp'
 'tar xzf wxPythonSrc-2.4.2.4.tar.gz'
 
 2. configure, and build it
 make a separate build directory to build wxPython in
 
 'cd /tmp/wxPythonSrc-2.4.2.4'
 'mkdir build'
 'cd build'
 
 configure it:
 '../configure --with-gtk --enable-geometry --enable-optimise --enable-gtk2 --enable-debug_flag'
 
 3. run setup.py
 
 'cd ../wxPython'
 'python setup.py build'
 
 4. Install it
 
 become a root user
 'python setup.py install'
 'ldconfig'
 don't need to be a root user anymore.
 
 5. check the install
 start up iceWM or KDE or whatever, if you're not in Xwindows already
 
 in an xterm type:
 
 'cd /tmp/wxPythonSrc-2.4.2.4/wxPython/demo'
 'python demo.py'
 
 
 Installing BitTorrent
 
 1. Download BitTorrent to /tmp:
 http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html
 
 2. untar it:
 
 'tar xzf BitTorrent-x.x.x.tar.gz'
 
 3. build it
 
 'cd /tmp/BitTorrent-x.x.x'
 './setup.py build'
 
 4. install it
 
 become a root user
 './setup.py install'
 'ldconfig'
 don't need to be root user anymore
 
 5. test the install
 
 btdownloadgui.py
 
 this should open an error window that give you command line options, this is good.
 
 
 Configuring Opera
 
 1. Open Opera.
 
 2. Go to: 'File' -> 'Preferences...'
 
 3. Go to: 'File Types' (on the left-hand list)
 
 4. Click on the 'New...' button
 
 5. Enter the following information
 MIME Type: application/x-bittorrent
 Extension: torrent
 
 Click the 'Open with other application' radio button
 Enter: '/usr/local/bin/btdownloadgui.py --url %s' in the text field under 'Open with other application'
 Check the 'Pass web address directly to the application' box
 
 6. Click Ok
 
 7. Click Ok
