Hi Derek,
Why get the source to Python and produce a specific version for Sbasic.
Because we can? I suppose we could, after all, we have C68 for QDOSMSQ
why not Python?
It would be a separate language though, not something to "compile" S*Basic.
I suppose we could produce sPython, which would run / compile Sbasic
source code. But there would have be a facility to add extensions and
Toolkits to it.
Python is a language in it's own right, like C or Basic or Assembly.
S*Basic syntax etc will not be compatible with Python. (Unless someone
builds a translator of course.)
...
I use Mint 12, which has Python 3 built in on installation, been using
this for a while now, all very nice and very similiar to Sbasic/Superbasic.
I too have Mint 12 and my Python shows 2.7.2+ but maybe there was an
option at install time to select Python 2.x or 3.x. Even on the Python
web site they advise sticking with 2,x as there are more programs
compatible with that version.
Cheers,
Norm.
