I've got a trouble, and i think that anybody there can help me I've got a python script which i distribute in somes packages for *nix. This script is full of python and need python 2.4 ! And i'd like to display a message when the user doesn't have a python2.4 version.
if i put, at the top of the script (which can be done with /usr/bin env too): #/usr/bin/python2.4 it will be good, but py2.3 users can't run the script, and the message comes from the system ;-( ... it can't be a message from my script ;-( #/usr/bin/python2.3 it will not be good, because my scrill will not work at all ;-) #/usr/bin/python it will select the defined python version of the platform ... And here is the problem. On debian/sid, users have python2.3 (default), et py2.4 : So the script will start with 2.3, and my message will be displayed. But it could work because there is a py2.4 on the machine ;-(. I'd like to make my script (or a starter script) which will be able to detect all python versions of the machine. And run my script with the good one ; py2.4, or display a message to the user to say her it must install py2.4 ... I hope you understand my needs. Is there a python/bash mechanism to override the default python version of the system ... and run the script with any version of python (but the most recent) ? or can you explain me how to do that ? the simplest way ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
