WELCOME TO pyPSYC(with a funky wxWindows GUI)

bugs & black-mail to tim@rash-media.de

-> HOWTO TURN THE BEAST ALIVE

    * install wxPython from www.wxpython.org

    * extract the tar

    * edit config-example and put it into ~/.pypsyc/config
    
    * edit wx-config-example and put it into ~/.pypsyc/wx-config only copying it
    there should be enough and you shouldn't edit it afterwards, it's only a 
    palce for the gui to remeber things like size, position and so on
    
    * windows users should only rename the two files, instead of moving them:
    
        config-example -> config
        wx-config-example -> wx-config
        
    * windows users have to edit chat_client.py to make sure it looks for the 
    config file in the right place and you have to edit the GUI/wx/devGui.py 
    file also.
    
    * you now should be setup and ready to explore the world of psyc
    

-> OFFICIAL NOTES

    * you need wxPython 2.4.1 and Python 2.2 other versions might also work but 
    who knows


-> INOFFICIAL NOTES

    * versions of wxPython <2.4.1 have a nasty bug that prevents the msg window
    from scrolling so you should upgrade
    
    * we have a nick completer now!!! shout out loud: "Hurraayy!"
    
    * bribe marder if you want a shiny-one-click windows installer
    
    * if you don't like the default speak action look into devGui.yp and change
    if, shoudl be quite easy


-> STATUS OF THE BEAST
        
    * there are reports that pyPSYC crashes with win2k, we are looking into that
    
    * querys don't work
    
    * you can't close the tabs ;]]
