Python works fine on win 95. I assumed that since Dabo is written in Python that it would work too.
I believe that the problem is in the wxPython libraries, which rely on the wxWidgets libraries, and not Python itself. The runtime engine that we distribute is built using the earliest version of Windows that we support (Win2K), and works fine with Win98 and later. I imagine that if wxWidgets were built on a Win95 machine, it would create different DLLs, due to the differences in graphical subsystems, and a runtime engine compiled with that version of wxWidgets would run without problem on another Win95 system.
If you want to run Dabo on a Win95 machine, you should install wxPython, MySQLdb, and all the other components separately, which should handle the platform differences. With our limited resources, we simply cannot get a machine with Win95 in order to make a runtime version for a 10-year-old OS. We don't even have the resources to support the most popular current Linux distros!
