Just a copy of my email sent on the MorphOS-ML...

=================

Dear all,

I'm proud to present you my first Python version with dynamic modules support.



You can download it as a .LHA archive by this link:

http://www.yomgui.fr/python/arc/python-2.4.2-mos_6a-final-20061010.lha

Information note:

- all blender that I've compiled with Python generation < 6 will no
longer work and may also crash your system. I will rebuild some
binaries with the new SDK

- the distutil module works for simple modules, so you can follow the
tutorial inside the official docs to create your own module

- If I found some time I will made a tutorial in french dedicated to
modules with the MorphOS Python version

- During the non-regression tests, there are some tests that
generating sone HITs and crashing the oython.library, as
"test_richcmp". So this version may contain some fatal bugs (=crash).

- Remain only the support of the thread module!


BR,
Guillaume aka Yomgui

What are those dynamic modules used for? Have they something to do with MorphOS shared libraries?

Krashan:

Technicaly speaking, it's not shared libraries. it just a special ELF object loaded dynamicaly by python using the libdl of Bigfoot. Then python.library has a special code to handle that internal, has the python.library is a brel32 library.

Now, dynmod are used for anything that extend the python language....

dynmod is often use as a bridge between a library and Python. Just have a look to PyGame, PyOpenGL or the fabulous wxPython

Now, we need a MUI module to show the powerfullness of Python

I've just release a new archive with some corrections:

- new SDK with link lib for python and modules for a normal link and brel link.

- new static libs => modules have reduced of an average of 50%.

- new arexx module. based on a pretty old work (7 years) of Irmen de Jong for the Amiga version. I've recoded some functions and init code to make it work w/ Python 2.4.

- some others hidden fixes

Download this version
