New Blender and Phyton

[Perlenstern]

I have seen that there are new Versions of Blender and Phyton.

Blender 2.49a
Phyton 2.6.2

Could we use this Versions for our work in age creation or are they not compatible with URU ?

Because the Blender release logs page tells that 2.49a consists mainly of bug fixes compared to 2.49 - and some small additions, but no further changes - I would assume using 2.49a instead of 2.49 is recommended.
Besides that, there is no link to 2.49 (without "a") on the Blender homepage anymore.
(But to 2.48a, 2.47, 2.45, ... - which version are you using currently?)

I tested the installation of the new Blender 2.49a, but this version needs Python 2.62.
And the Add-Ons and Scripts need Python 2.5.
So it seems that momentary Blender 2.49 is the latest version you can use.

PyPRP should be compatible with Python 2.6. But you will have to install Python 2.6 including the required libraries for that particular version (PIL, Crypto and PyYAML). Although IMO that is just too much trouble if you already have Python 2.5 installed and ready for use with PyPRP.

Blender 2.49 for Python 2.5 can still be downloaded here.

Is it worth all the trouble to figure this all out? LOL

Perl: I presume you mean Python rather than Phyton 2.6.2. I googled Python 2.6.2, and found that the new version fixes bugs in 2.6.1 and prepares for the new release of Python 3.0 which will be very different from 2.5. See:
http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html
I will stick with 2.5 for now.

Yes I do the same. Work with Blender 2.49 and Python 2.5.

So I think the best for will be to close this thread to avoid confusion.
