Official Supported version of Python for SI?

[Eric Thivierge]

What's the officially supported version of Python for Softimage if we install externally. Any reasons 2.7> wouldn't be recommended?

Softimage ships with 2.6.4 (on Windows).

We didn't go with 2.7 because it used pywin 214 which was buggy.
Not sure if 215 is any better (I'm trying to find the bug numbers).

2.7 does show up as an available scripting language (on Windows).

OK thanks.

The bug that was in 214 is still Open, so I assume it is still in 215.
It's a mem leak in the Application object that causes other problems too, iirc.

Hi Stephen, hi everybody,

I'd be very interested to know if that bug that made you stay with pywin 214 back then is fixed in the current pywin 217 version.

Of course I'm happy to check the pywin changelogs myself - but I would need a bit more details about the issue that you encountered back then.

Thanks in advance,

Martin
