Change Python Version

Post by Josef Brandt »

Hi all,

is there any way of changing the installed Python version to a more recent Python 3?
I want to import some external modules that don't work together with Python 2.7x :/

Many thanks,
Josef

Hello Josef Brandt,

maybe there is some misunderstanding.

The Macro Environment of Zen uses IronPython as Zen depends on .Net.

But for IronPython there is at the moment only an alpha version of 3.X available, e.g. https://ironpython.net/

'Normal' Python is different from IronPython and libraries may run in IronPython if they are delivered as source code.

I hope this helps to clarify the situation a bit.

Ah, no I was not aware of that, thanks for the clarification!
Then I cannot import my compiled 3rd-party libraries, but that's not an issue, I can work around it.

Thanks a lot,
Josef
