Hello,

I am trying to play a little with Python here. Installed Python 2.7, added
the path environment variables, etc, but when I try to run testpython.mpy or any other Python script under Mystic I get the message "Python not
detected"...

Do you have the 64-bit version of Python installed?

Like g00r00 pointed out to me, you have to make sure you have the right
python version. I see that you are using windows/64. I also found that the default download for python on windows is for windows/32. You'll have to search around for the proper python 32-bit version and install that.

Damn, you are right:

C:\mystic>python
Python 2.7.14 (v2.7.14:84471935ed, Sep 16 2017, 20:19:30) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import struct;print struct.calcsize("P") * 8

32

I will fix this. Thanks!

That's right, just double-checked and my python is 32-bits, although the
OS is 64. I will have to fix this first...

Quick question, anyone who's system runs on Win-64, with Mystic-32 and Python-32, what version of Python works with MRC and IBOL ??

Thanks :-)

Any version of Python works, so long as you match it with your version of Mystic (in Windows). Windows supports 32-bit apps in its 64-bit versions very well but its a little trickier from my experience doing the same in Linux.

I've just tested:

32-bit Mystic, 32-bit Python and 64-bit Windows 10
64-bit Mystic, 64-bit Python and 64-bit Linux

msgread.mpy from A38 working fine for me.

If you are using 64-bit Linux, why are you trying to run 32-bit Mystic?

I'm running 64 bit windows, 32 bit mystic... with 32 bit python.

I have noticed a few mods for Mystic that are actually Python3 scripts. I
just learned how to install MPL modes and get them to work, however I am clueless how to get Python3 script mods to work.

Can anyone help or point me into a direction on how to install what it takes
to run a Python3 MOD on Mystic.

...that's possible? Count me as interested, too, what with all the doom-and-gloom coming from the people attempting to kill off Python2.

I assumed we'd have to wait until g00r00 decided it was time, which might be "never", given Python2's track record.

AFAIK Python3-based scripts for Mystic just run externally rather than through the internal Python2 module.

These are not exactly MODs. There are just programs/scripts that you can use everywhere, even if you don't have a BBS. Linux BBS can use any linux terminal app and display it via the BBS, to the user. THis way you can write a
python2/3 script and use it as a MOD ;)

But this doesn't apply to Windows. If you use such a script, without a DOOR support to a windows BBS, it wont be displayed to the connected user, but only locally.

does the Python script run just like the mpl scripts for do I need to install something on my windows box in order to run the python script?

Nope... it's a Python3 script, so it needs Python3 to run it and if you have a windows machine, as you say, only the sysop could see it locally and not other users/visitors of the BBS.

I wonder if v3 will come to Mystic now that v4 appears to be on the horizon.
It would be pretty awesome to get v3 support.

Speaking of Python, I wonder if v3 support is coming to Mystic now that v4 is on the horizon. I suppose we will know when we know.
