KIKI $VERSION - regexes made nifty

$COPYRIGHT ($WEBSITE)

Licence: GPL (free)

Requires: Python, wxPython

System: any, provided (wx)Python runs on it

Installation

============

Make sure you install first (if not already 

present on your system):

- Python (2.4.x or newer) from:

  http://python.org

- wxPython (preferably 2.5.1.5 or later) from:

  http://wxpython.org

Then unpack this archive to some directory and run

"kiki.py" either by double-clicking on it or

by entering at the command line prompt 

"python kiki.py". Windows users might want to use

"Kiki.bat" to run it instead.

You might want to add it to your start menu too.

Windows users should open the Kiki directory in

the explorer. Right-click on "Kiki.bat"

and, keeping the right mouse button pressed, drag

and drop the file on the Start button.

If you want the icon in there too, proceed as follows:

- go to the Start menu and right-click on 

  "Kiki", then choose "Properties"

- go to the "Shortcut" tab and click on "Other icon"

  (not sure what it is on English systems). You will

  get a warning message, ignore it.

- click on the Browse button and go to the Kiki

  directory. Select the "kiki.ico" file and then

  click on the "Open" button.

Linux users should use whatever facilities their

distro provides to manipulate the menu.

Integration with Spe

====================

Spe is a very good Python editor, also written in 

Python/wxPython. It is available at 

http://spe.pycs.net. The distribution includes

an unmodified version of Kiki. You can access it

from the Tools menu.

Uninstalling

============

- remove the folder where you unpacked kiki.py

You can also remove the folder in your $HOME directory

called ".kiki". This is where Pears stores its stuff.

Under WinXP, the $HOME folder can be located at:

  C:\Documents and Settings\

Help

For help, see the Help tab in the program.

Credits

=======

Once upon a time, there was a Tkinter-based application 

called "Recon - Regular expression test console", written 

by Brent Burley, which I found quite useful for writing 

regexes. I decided that I needed something with more

features and better looks. Kiki and Recon share no code

at all, but they share the design philosophy.

I decided to call my program "Ferret" (short for

"Free Environment for Regular Expression Testing"). On

second thought, I thought it would be better to name it

after the most famous (in fact after the *only* famous)

ferret I know: Kiki from the very funny Sluggy online

comic (http://sluggy.com).
