Re: gl Multiple versions of python

Glenn Linderman wrote:
When using multiple versions of Python co-installed on the same system,
what happens with local .pyc files? If the .py is loaded with a
different version of Python, is the .pyc rebuilt (even if the .py hasn't
changed)?

Or must one manually delete the .pyc files?
They are automatically rebuilt if they are from a different version of
Python. This is why it isn't a good idea to share library modules
between different versions.

Is it possible to install multiple versions of ActivePython on the same machine? Many modules which used to work with Python 2.2 now don't on 2.3. I am using some 2.3 features but lots of programs that used to work, don't anymore. This is especially true with modules that expose their libraries as DLLs. Has backward compatibility been a nagging problem with Python? Please feel free to chide me if this is a no-brainer question.

Hi all, We've been having a discussion over on the wxPython-users mailing list about how to deal with multiple versions of wxPython. During the discussion it came up that this isn't a problem faced only by wxPython, but would have to be dealt with by virtually all packages. The root of the problem is what to do when you install a new version of wxPython, and want to be able to keep using the old one. This question comes up frequently...

Call this a C++ programmers hang-up if you like. I don't seem to be able to define multiple versions of __init__ in my matrix class (ie to initialise either from a list of values or from 2 dimensions (rows/columns)). Even if Python couldn't resolve the __init__ to use on the basis of argument types surely it could do so on the basis of argument numbers??? At any rate - any suggestions how I code this????

Would there be issues (registry settings, environment variables, whatever) if a person tried to install versions 1.x and 2.x simultaneously on one Windows system? Windows 98, if it matters. (I can handle the file associations with no problem.) Thanks. **************************

How do I use multiple Python interpreters within the same process? I know there's a function Py_NewInterpreter. However, how do I use functions like Py_RunString etc. with it? They don't take any arguments that would tell on which interpreter to run the string...? Marcin

En Sun, 11 May 2008 01:17:22 -0300, Banibrata Dutta <banibrata.dutta@gmail.comescribió: You don't have to try - binaries for different Python versions *are* *not* compatible (up to the second digit: 2.4 and 2.5 are not compatible, but 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 are). So any extension using a .pyd/.dll will have to be recompiled, at least. Even pure Python code written for 2.5 may use features not available in 2.2. Packages built using setuptools...

Hopefully a service like this already exists and I just haven't found it yet. If not it could be an idea for some kind soul(s) to pick up and run with ;-) As someone who writes and releases Python modules for the community, I find it difficult to have a decent level of confidence in the efficacy of my code on platforms and Python versions other than those that I own or use regularly. My documentation states that I support Python 2.3 or...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
