Hi, I'm sorry if this question has already been raised a couple of times, but I have not found any clear solution in the discussion archive.
For instance, Maya 2009 python interpreter was build upon python 2.5.1, and 2.6.4 for Maya 2011. In the case where the interpreter has to load a lib, compiled with python header and and linked against python libs, are we stuck to use the same version as Maya interpreter? I'm thinking about custom C++ libs exposed via boost::python, swig or SIP, ( for example: Qt ) Reciprocally, when loading maya standalone, the Maya doc advise to use the same version: http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2009help/files/Python_Python_from_an_external_interpreter.htm http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/files/Python_Python_from_an_external_interpreter.htm "However, it is recommended that you use the same version number of Python as is included in Maya." Is it mandatory? Many thanks! Pierre -- http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya
