<p><a name="download" href="$(ROOT)/pypoker.py">pypoker.py</a> is a simple text mode
texas holdem poker simulator written in <a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>.
It allows you to play a game of texas holdem against a number
of computer opponents.  You can select the table size (maximum 10)
at startup.</p>
<p>pypoker.py also supports message output via Speech Dispatcher, so
that you can hear the activities announced by a speech synthesizer.</p>
<h2><a nmae="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>

<li>The poker-engine python package from <a href="http://www.pokersource.info/">pokersource.info</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="platforms">Platforms supported</a></h2>
<p>It has been tested on GNU/Linux.  Since poker-engine is available
for Windows, it should also run on Windows, but the author
did not test this.  Does anyone know how to build a self-contained
executable for Windows with poker-engine, a python interpreter
and this script?</p>
