[solved] Python 3.x ?

mpiter

Hello,

I configured my computer with Python 2.7.6 but I also have Python 3.4. Would OpenSesame work with a computer using Python 3.x as default?

You can install OpenSesame on a system that has Python 3 installed. OpenSesame will just use its own separate Python 2 environment.

But OpenSesame cannot use Python 3. The next major release of OpenSesame (3.0.0) will support both Python 2 and 3. But even then Python 2 will remain the default, because many of the libraries that OpenSesame depends on are Python-2 only.

Cheers!

Thanks for your clear answer.

I have been programming in many languages for more than 30 years but not in Python. Discovering Opensesame a couple of weeks ago motivated me to learn Python but I quickly saw the 2 versus 3 version problem with 3 being the future but 2 often mandatory for library support. I started a few days ago with a Python 2.7.10 tutorial and your message decides me to keep that version for a while.

I am amazed by OpenSesame quality. I will try to make it our new standard over E-Prime creating a user group here in the Laboratory Parole et Langage in Aix-en-Provence.
