Support for Python 2.4
Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to use Python for Delphi with
Python 2.4? The official version I downloaded can only handle Python
2.3. Another question: is Python for Windows really required to run
Python for Delphi? Or is it enough to have the pywin32 extension
installed?
Best,

Not sure you downloaded the “latest” official version ;-)
The latest version handles it and is accessible from http://mmm-experts.com

Pywin32 is an extension to Python for
Windows and won`t work as a standalone.
However you don`t need 100% of Python for
Windows to distribute your application.
Look at other posts to this group that
talk about this, and download the latest version of P4D and read the PDF
document "Deploying P4D" which explains everything.
Here`s a copy of a section of the
document, in case the current build does not include it:
Copy the Python folder
content into your application folder
Note that you should copy the whole folder
structure (lib, libs, dlls…) unless you want to minimize the size of your
distribution. In that case, you can look at http://www.tarind.com/depgraph.html
for a tool that will generate a dependency graph of all your Python modules.
Note that this tool relies on the
modulefinder module included in the standard distribution, that you can use for
your own tools.
Note however that if your application
generates Python code or doesn`t store the code into files, this may not work
100% accurately, unless you run the tool from your application, after
everything is properly initialized.
Hope that helps,
Morgan

Thank you. I found a page on Google but now it seems to me that was an
`old` official site. :-)

Okay. I asked this because the tutorial said I need to install Python
for Windows. However, Python for Windows (also known as ActivePython)
and the Standard Python distributions with pywin32 are not the same.
(But almost the same.) I just wondered if I need to uninstall Python and
install ActivePython. Sorry for the silly question - it was also because
I downloaded an older version.
Now I downloaded 3.27 and it works just fine. I`m going to use P4D as
the scripting language for a scientific application.
P4D is really neat. :-)

Yep, I know it`s confusing but I can`t access the old site anymore!

Thanks a lot! I`m glad we`ll count another P4D application! I am also
interested in referencing your web page from the P4D page, if you agree...
Bye,
