Hi Ben,
I'm having fun with py and have a couple questions.
#1 Does the precompiled py external include the python interpreter? As in does it not depend on python being installed on the system? If so what modules does it include?
The Python interpreter is not included - Python (2.1 upwards) must be installed, which is the case in OSX and most if not all Linux distributions. It's not standard on Windows, but there's a convenient installer.
#2 I can "import os" to get OS methods like os.dirlist. but when I try and "import os.path" py refuses to load the script. I need os.path.join that works on all OSs.
That's strange... i have no problem under OSX 10.3 with standard Python installation (py cvs)
Could you try to load the following script with py:
try: import sys except: print "Not even sys is working"
try: import os.path except: print "Import failed:",str(sys.exc_info()[1])
many thanks, Thomas
