Greg's Free Software

This page lists all of free software packages that I have either developed myself, or been one of the primary developers on. The list is in (roughly) reverse chronological order; it includes some packages that haven't been release yet, but hopefully will be soon. For useful hacks that I've never gotten around to releasing, see my hacks page.

Notes:

  1. I did most of the original implementation of the module that grew up into Sancho, but Neil Schemenauer cleaned up the code enormously and takes care of releases. Andrew Kuchling wrote the documentation.
  2. Andrew Kuchling took care of the Distutils 1.0.2 release; my last release was 1.0.1, on 15 Oct 2001.
