DJPY contains the makefiles and other changes necessary to compile
Python 1.4 with DJGPP 2.01.

From Python's README:
What is Python anyway?
----------------------

Python is an interpreted object-oriented programming language, and is
often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.  For a quick summary of
what Python can mean for a UNIX/C programmer, read Misc/BLURB.LUTZ.
If you have web access, point your browser to http://www.python.org.

From the DJGPP FAQ:
**Q*: What is DJGPP?*

*A* :  DJGPP is a port of GNU C/C++ compiler and development tools to
32-bit, protected-mode environment on Intel 32-bit CPUs running MS-DOS
and compatible operating systems, by DJ Delorie <dj AT delorie DOT com> and
friends.  

To compile Python with DJGPP, you need the following:
DJGPP: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/  (see readme.1st 
       for details)
Python 1.4: ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/src
DJPY: ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/contrib/System/djpy.zip

Detailed instructions are in readme.dj (in djpy.zip)

If you have problems, email me or post in comp.lang.python or
comp.os.msdos.djgpp.
