InfoPears is a three-pane newsfeed (RSS/RDF/Atom) aggregator. It has a clean, uncluttered interface, it's easy to use and works on Windows, Linux and MacOSX.It has the following features:
Installing and uninstallingPears comes in a tarball (all platforms) and as a setup (Windows only). Unpack it with an archiver respectively install it to some directory. The program will create in each users's home directory a folder called.pears . If you don't know where the home directory is, look in
the About window of Pears, which contains the location of the data directory.
Make sure you have Python and wxPython installed as well, or Pears won't run at all. Uninstalling is just as easy: remove the folder where you installed Pears (if you forgot where that is, use the About screen). You can also remove the .pears folders in the home directories of all users who have
had access to Pears. Pears does not use anything outside its own directory and
the home directory (not even the registry under Windows).
RequirementsPears should work on any computer where Python and wxPython can run. I use it on a day-to-day basis on Windows XP and I've done some rudimentary testing on my Mandrake 9.1 and 10.0CE, but as far as I know there is no OS-specific code in it so it should work quite ok on Windows 9x/ME/NT/XP as well as all Linux flavours, OS X and possibly some exotic systems.If your operating system does not come with Python installed (Linux distro's usually do include Python, but Windows systems don't) or you have an old version like the ones delivered by RedHat in releases below 8.0, you can get a Python distribution for your operating system at Python.org. I think Pears should work with any version starting with 2.2, but I have only tested on 2.3.2. wxPython is available from wxPython.org. I develop/test with wxPython 2.5.1.5 unicode. The documentation is only properly displayed on reasonably modern browsers which support CSS. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ContactPlease use the facilities on the Sourceforge page to submit bug reports, patches and such.E-mail/MSN: project5@wanadoo.nl ICQ: 84243714 Jabber: project5@rhymbox.com Web: http://project5.tk or http://come.to/project5 LicencePears is distributed under the GPL. |
