Title: Python versions
Post by: ruler501 on April 17, 2011, 08:31:20 pm: I'm just interested in seeing what version of python everyone uses
Please tell me if I missed your version. I don't know the 3.x versions

I voted Python 2.6.x and x=1 I haven't updated in a while to protect compatibility. I also use this because it is the 2.6 version of Portable Python
do the new versions of 2.6/2.7 stay compatible with 2.6.1

Post by: Michael_Lee on April 17, 2011, 08:32:57 pm: I use Python 3.1 and if I have to, Python 2.6.x or 2.7.x

Python 3.1 is the most advanced version that I can still turn into an exe, and the other Python versions are necessary for lots of 3rd party libraries.

Post by: ruler501 on April 17, 2011, 08:34:51 pm: I added 3.1 sorry for missing it. I really only use 2.6.1 and don't look at the new versions much

Let me check real quick

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 18, 2011, 02:57:47 am: Is it possible to install multiple versions at once so we don't have to switch back and forth when running programs from different versions?

Post by: Juju on April 18, 2011, 05:06:41 am: Yes you can... at least in Linux. Dunno about Windows though. It should be doable. You could just specify multiple root directories.

Post by: Munchor on April 18, 2011, 05:49:42 am: You can do it in Linux.
The last version of Linux (Ubuntu 11.04, in beta stage) comes with Python 2.7 preloaded. Ubuntu 10.10 comes with Python 2.6

Also, why do you use Python 2.6.x; x!=6? That's quite unstable.

Python 2.6.6 on Windows.

I managed to vote. Perhaps it's because Omnimaga is a bit slow now.

I think many Linux users would get real upset if they read this :)
