This file contains notes on installing PYDR25 which is an implementation
of Divine Right. It includes both the second edition from 1979 and the
25th anniversary edition.

In addition to PYDR25, you will need these packages:
Python 2.3 (http://www.python.org)
GTK+ 2.4 (http://www.gtk.org)
PyGTK 2.4 (http://www.pygtk.org)

Linux/Unix:

1. Download the pydr25 files (pydr25-0.8.3aa and pydr25-0.8.3ab) and
pydr-setup.py.

2. Run python pydr-setup.py. This will unpack the pydr25 files into a
subdirectory named pydr25.

3. cd to the pydr25 directory and run python dr.py (for second edition) or
python dr25.py (for 25th anniversary edition).

If you had to compile your own GTK+ or PyGTK, you may need to set the
_gtk2_dir or _pygtk_dir in drenv.py.

Specific distro notes:
Fedora Core 2: Does not have PyGTK 2.4 (it has 2.2). Recommendation is
to compile PyGTK 2.4, and set _pygtk_dir in drenv.py.
Example: If PyGTK 2.4.1 is installed in ~/pygtk241, then set _pygtk_dir as,
_pygtk_dir = os.path.expanduser('~/pygtk241/lib/python2.3/site-packages')

Windows:

1. Download and run the python installer from http://www.python.org/2.3.5.

2. Download the pydr25 files (pydr25-0.8.3aa and pydr25-0.8.3ab), the GTK
binaries for windows (gtkwinaa, gtkwinab, and gtkwinac) and pydr-setup.py.

3. Double click pydr-setup.py in windows explorer. This will unpack the pydr25
files and the precompiled GTK+ and PyGTK into a subdirectory named pydr25.

4. Double click dr.py (for second edition) or dr25.py (for 25th anniversary
edition) in windows explorer to run the game.

Mac OS X:

If anyone has info on this, I would appreciate them sending it to me for
inclusion here. The issue is getting GTK+ and PyGTK working. There is
no native port of GTK+ for the Mac, so XWindows is required. I have no
idea how easy/difficult this is.
