Thanks, > > 2.6.x for sure. Python 3 is not supported. And probably won't be soon. Or ever (we would do better moving to another language than to Python 3). Python 3 is a disaster on non-Windows systems due to an outbreak of Unicode fundamentalism. E.g. you can't get the original byte strings for argv[], only the Unicode versions (*if* it manages to convert them to Unicode; if any argv[i] isn't text in your locale's encoding, you lose). -- Glynn Clements ___ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev

Hi Martin, I'm updating the GRASS build environment for MS Windows, and looking for some news in the dependencies I found that Python is currently shipped in two versions: 2.6.1 and 3. What should I install? Thanks, 2.6.x for sure. Python 3 is not supported. Ok. Thanks. Marco ___ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
