At my workplace we have nearly completed the hardware and software upgrades. Up to this point I have been using Perl to write scripts that work with our planning software which has its own proprietary scripting environment. Generally speaking the scripts I write are always text files which run Solaris commands and/or create reload script files in the proprietary scripting format. Until our recent upgrades Perl was the best option; Python did not exist on our systems. Now after the upgrades some machines now have Python 2.4.4 and others Python 2.4.6. For the purposes of creating/manipulating text files and running Solaris-flavored Unix commands, is there anything I should be specially aware of? I have been working entirely in my Python studies with version 3.x up to this point. I understand that there are differences between 2.x versus 3.x such as print statements versus print functions, etc. BTW, does 2.4.x come with Tkinter standard?
In case anyone has the thought that I should upgrade to a more recent version of Python at work, bear in mind that these are medical software systems that come with FDA compliant certification. I probably could get permission to upgrade, but only if I could demonstrate a compelling need, which at this time I would deem highly unlikely. Thanks! boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
