The Getting Started document contains information
on installing PythonCard and running your first sample.

that gives step-by-step instructions on creating your first PythonCard application.
Shell usage and key bindings.
PythonCard uses PyCrust as its shell. It is a lot like the Python Shell used in IDLE and PythonWin.

State of the Framework

updated for release 0.6.2 on January 24th, 2002.
