Python Version?

Post by jwka »

Hi all,

I am a novice to Python. Seems a bad time to start with it as the change from 2.x to 3.x is ongoing and - as for a novice's angle of sight - some truly significant libraries (GUI etc) are not yet "on 3".

Now, the Question is:

If I would like to start programming Python in EventHost AND more, what version should I use?

Will (and when) EventGhost go to Python Version 3? As far as I understand, EventGhost in relying in wxPython, which is still 2.x ...

So, very tough questions for a novice.

Thanks for any help!

EventGhost is using Python 2.6, and since Bitmonster is no longer updating EG I doubt it will be changed to Python 3. Python 2 will be maintained for something like 5 more years, so I would recommend using Python 2 for now.

I've created a fork of EG called SatoriHub, which uses the PyQt framework instead of wxPython. Not sure if that is of interest or not - it is alpha status right now, but hopefully will be ready for beta testing soon. It's also using Python 2.6.
