Scripts

I would like to play an external script.
I have installed Python 2.5.
The path to the Scripts folder is in the correct place.
Play external scripts is ghosted.
IIRC it was mentioned that there would be little green
snakes as icons in the Scripts window.
Where have I gone wrong (again)?

You haven't done anything "wrong" but there is an annoyance with Python. When
a program opens a library they can query it for a version number and so
reject it if the library is too old (or too new I suppose). Python does not
follow this model, instead the application must open the library by version
number. This means for PgS to support a new version of Python requires a new
version be compiled. This can be quite annoying but I don't believe there is
really anything that can be done about it.

What does this mean to you? Remove Python 2.5 (at least for now) and install
Python 2.4. Try http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.4/

I'm not Dennis, but it worked a treat for me. Thanks much!
