Architectures: Classic AMIGAs, WinUAE, FS-UAE, (Windows? Linux?).
-----------------------------------------------------------------

  MINIMUM Requirements Are:-
  --------------------------

  1) Amiga environment:-
       Stock AMIGA 1200 with HDD, (extra memory is always useful,
       but not needed; it will run faster however with FASTRAM).
       WinUAE 1.5.3, minimum on Windows.
       FS-UAE on OSX 10.13.6 and Linux Mint 19.
       Standard AMIGA OS_3.0.x install or better.
       Full Python 1.4.0, minimum, installed, (full install on AMINET).
       ( http://aminet.net/package/dev/lang/Python_14 )

  2) Apple OSX 10.12.0 and higher using default Python 2.7.x, plus 3.5.2.
  3) Python 2.7.x to 3.7.0 on Windows 10 and Linux Mint 19.

  'FFT_Python_1.4.0.py.txt'

  !!!Yep, that's right, FFT for Python 1.4.0 is finally here!!!

  This is the simplest implementation of a basic FFT function for the
  Classic AMIGA. Because the old tub has only got Python 1.4.0 as a maximum
  that requires NO serious hardware upgrades to work, and NO 'numpy',
  'scipy' or other complex mathematical and scientific libraries at its
  disposal then after much research, learning and jiggery pokery I came up
  with this. The ONLY library/module required is the builtin 'cmath' one.
  No other dependencies or modules are needed at all, just the default
  Python 1.4.0 installation from AMINET.

  If you are in need of a very basic FFT function just download
  'FFT_Python_1.4.0.py.txt' and save it inside your PYTHON:  volume.
  Rename the file to FFT_Python_1.4.0.py and you are ready to roll.

  Ensure that the PYTHON: volume points to where the Python1.4 drawer is.
  Example:
  Assign PYTHON: WORK:Python14<ENTER>

  In a CLI start python from the PYTHON: volume as:
  PYTHON:python_020_ieee<ENTER>

  At the Python prompt enter:-

  >>> execfile("PYTHON:FFT_Python_1.4.0.py")<ENTER>

  You will get a list of complex numbers and a spectrum display like this
  (for the test 16 sample list inside the code):

  """
  Quick text mode spectrum display...
  ****
  ********************************
  ************
  *
  ************
  *
  ****
  ********
  ****
  ********
  ****
  *
  ************
  *
  ************
  ********************************
  """

  Now that there is a building block to work with basic work can be done on
  say audio waveforms, sadly though, not in real time; but hey we didn't
  have ANY FFT before for a stock AMIGA A1200 with a(n) HDD and OS 3.0.x
  as a minimum hardware requirement...

  This makes my FFT_AMIGA.py on AMINET redundant as this was what I was
  aiming for from day one of development.

  Finally, the code has all the values expected commented out as a
  comparison for your system and current hardware with their versions of
  Python.

  READ THE CODE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

  Enjoy...

  make it work on Python 1.4.0 for the AMIGA and up to the current 3.7.0,

    Testing Evaluation:-
    --------------------

    All WinUAE, FS-UAE and Classic AMIGA test conditions were/are running
    standard OS 3.0.x and using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout. The
    minimum hardware requirements ARE needed however.

    I have no idea what strange configuration setups will create so refer
    to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.
