[ANSWERED]Python version

Hi,

probably missed it, but I can't find what version we are supposed to use to write plugins?

Best regards,

Plugins (the IOM and SDK) use Python 2.5 since it's the common Python version across all supported OS releases (10.5-10.9).

OK thx.
Any speculation on it going to the latest version. Downloading and installing should not be that difficult.
Any other reason besides it being shipped with 10.5-10.9?

Best regards,
Marc

Requiring a user to install Python themselves is not an option. We will be evaluating minimum system requirements for Indigo 7 at some point and may decide to change the minimum system requirement (and, therefore, the Python version). But we haven't gotten to that point yet. We will not be changing anything for Indigo 6.

The testing burden is a huge concern for us: if we start supporting multiple Python versions then our QA load goes up significantly for each supported version not to mention confusion on the users part.

OK, very understandable.

Best regards,
Marc
