just a quick test done: - downloaded Python 3.3.2 Windows x86 MSI Installer - Python 3.3.2 extracted but _nothing_ installed (no registry entry) - opened a windows console and change into the extracted folder: cd C:\dl\python-3.3.2\pythonXYZ - C:\dl\python-3.3.2\pythonXYZ>py --version Python 2.7.2 it finds the system wide python installation of ArcGIS here on my box - quick script test listed here: http://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#from-a-script #! python import sys sys.stdout.write("hello from Python %s\n" % (sys.version,)) >From the directory in which hello.py lives, execute the command: py hello.py -------- C:\dl\python-3.3.2\pythonXYZ>py hello.py hello from Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] -------- so for the first quick test it seems it works without installing the rest of Python 3. further testing needed... ----- best regards Helmut -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Re-GRASS-GIS-7-tech-preview-release-preparations-tp5066002p5069037.html Sent from the Grass - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
