Hi Shaun and all, First, thing you need to under stand the 2.4 in Python refers to the language version. At current Python is at 2.4. If someone writes an application or game using Python 2.4 that application, in this case a game, will not run on earlier versions of the language. Python based applications require an Interpreter to operate. There are several interpreted languages such as perl, tcl, etc that are not necessarily compiled in to a *.exe file and instead are lonched and run in the runtime interpreter. As such you need the Python base interpreter to run those kind of programs. If that Python program is written using say 2.4 conventions then the 2.2 or 2.3 interpreter won't know what to do with the new code and bomb out. Grin.
