Subject: Re: LilyPond-Book on Windows

If we had somewhat more reliable feedback from Windows users (this was
already released in 2.19.3, see
<URL:https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2014-03/msg00063.html>),
then the quality of our releases could be better.


I suspect that most windows users aren't using lilypond-book: partly
because of the need to use other Unix-like programs to convert the
TeX.  I certainly don't, and if I had a need to use lilypond-book, I'd
do it in a Unix VM.

It's not just that: most Windows users aren't actively participating on
the lists, either.

I have asked several times on one of the lists what the result of

exit(0)

inside of the Python we deliver with Windows (?) would be.  Should not
be too hard, but no response.  It's not clear to me what version of
Python we actually deliver (and I was apparently pointed to the wrong
GUB repository for finding that out the hard way by looking at the
source).

Sorry - probably busy with other stuff.  This may be what you want:

C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPondV2.18.0\usr\bin>python
Python 2.4.5 (#1, Oct  6 2013, 18:41:07)
[GCC 4.1.1] on mingw32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
exit(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
