Multiple Python versions?

Postby tachzusamm » Thu Jun 25, 2009 4:02 am

Hi folks,

I have to install Python 2.6.2 on my computer for another project.

Is it possible to keep version 2.5 on my computer (and assure Blender / PyPRP uses this) or will the installation of 2.6.2 destroy the registration were to find the default Python when I work in Blender?

In other words: Has the Python installation a globally managed "version link" (e.g. in windows registry) or does Blender / PyPRP use an own link where to find the proper version?

You should be able to install more verions! E.g., i have installed Python 2.2, 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0.1. The installer creates a new directory and you should be able to use them together.

Blender uses Python 2.5 no matter what, I think.

I believe Blender 2.49a by default uses Python 2.6... the Windows installer at least seems to indicate that.

Thank you all for the input; now I'm not afraid any longer to try it. :)
