Hi,As you may already know, ActivePython provides versioned Python executables that makes it possible to invoke a particular X.Y version from the command line directly if you have multiple Python versions on PATH. Eg: C:\Python27\python26.exe C:\Python27\python27.exe C:\Python31\python31.exe In the upcoming releases, we are considering to change this format to match the unix executables (with a 'dot' in it). Eg: C:\Python27\python2.6.exe C:\Python27\python2.7.exe C:\Python31\python3.1.exe The idea is to be able to invoke "python2.7 myscript.py" on both Unix and Windows. Thoughts? Because there is bin/python3 on unix (to separate it from the default 2.x interpreter) - it is perhaps a good idea to have "C:\Python31\python3.exe" as well. -srid
Take a look at Debian's Python policy. http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-python.html at "Interpreter Name". They've addressed this. Consistency would be appreciated. Thank you. John Nagle -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
