from within geany. The first line is either #!/usr/bin/python or #!/usr/bin/python3 r...@rick-desktop:~$ file /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python: symbolic link to `python2.6' r...@rick-desktop:~$ file /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python3: symbolic link to `python3.1' I just think it odd that there is one behaviour in an interactive session, and a different behaviour when run from a script. interesting again, running it right from bash, it works just fine, as long as the first line calls v3.1. Could geany be calling the 2.6 interpreter, even with v3 in the first line? oh my, that is unexpected, just tried it. #!/usr/bin/python3 import sys print(sys.version) from geany yields: 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 7 2009, 18:43:55) [GCC 4.4.1] but from bash yields: 3.1.1+ (r311:74480, Nov 2 2009, 15:45:00) [GCC 4.4.1] Rick _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
