pyChing -- a Python program to cast and interpret I Ching hexagrams ====================================================================== pyChing is a program that allows you to 'consult' the I Ching. The I Ching is an ancient Chinese book of wisdom, which, apart from being read as a book, has also traditionally been consulted as an oracle. pyChing allows you to perform an I Ching 'reading' using the coin oracle, and then look up a brief interpretation from the I Ching. pyChing is completely written in Python, a cross platform, object oriented, programming language, using the Tkinter oop interface to the Tk GUI toolkit. Highlights: ----------- - allows saving/restoring of readings for use within pyChing - user configurable colors - nifty coin animations - readings may also be saved as text, for subsequent printing or whatever - information on the hexagrams cast are available within the program - hexagram information may be browsed at any time - formatted hypertext help and information viewer - pyChing should be portable across Linix/Unix/X11, Windows and MacOS/OSX For installation information consult the file INSTALL. I'm awaiting your detailed bug reports ;-) Have fun, Stephen M. Gava http://pyching.sourceforge.net Python website: http://www.python.org --------- pyching is Copyright (C) 1999-2003 Stephen M.
