How to specify Python version in script?

2009-11-11 Thread kj




I have a script that must be run with Python 2.6.x.  If one tries
to run it with, say, 2.5.x, *eventually* it runs into problems and
crashes.  (The failure is quicker if one attempts to run it with
Python 3.x.)

Is there some way to specify at the very beginning of the script
the acceptable range of Python versions?

TIA!

kynn

P.S. I know that I can hardcode the path to a specific intpreter
in the #! line, but I'm trying to keep the code a bit more general
than that.

min_version = (2,6)
import sys
if sys.version_info  min_version :
   print  stderr, must be run with at least Python 2.6

Hello,

If you are working on linux, you can change the shebang line from:
#!/usr/bin/python

to:
#!/usr/bin/python2.6

Best regards,
Javier

P.S. If you just want to avoid python 3 while running the latest
python 2.x version, this should also work:
#!/usr/bin/python2

True, except that it doesn't meet the OP's requirements. The OP wanted
to be able to specify a range of versions. The problem with changing
the shebang line is that there's no way to say python 2.5 or 2.6 or
2.7

Regardless, it's much better to do #!/usr/bin/evn python2.6 instead of
hard-coding the path because not everyone has their interpreter in the
same spot. I have the Macports python 2.6.4 installed in
/opt/local/bin and I'd get kind of annoyed if a script, insisted on
using the 2.6.1 that came with the system, especially if it depends on
3rd party libraries.
