Python is an interpreter based programming language. The
homepage of the python project is:
https://python.org/. Python is used to generate
some source files. Python 2.4 to 2.6 should work fine.
4.6.1. UNIX or Win32 Cygwin: python
Python is available for most of the UNIX-like platforms
and as the python package from the
Cygwin setup
If Python isn't already installed or
available as a package for your platform, you can get it at:
https://www.python.org/.
After correct installation, typing at the
bash command line prompt:
$ python -V
should result in something like:
Python 2.4.3
However, the version string may vary.
4.6.2. Win32 native: python
Get Python 2.6, 2.5, or 2.4 from
https://python.org/download/.
You can download an installation package there, which
will install the Python system in the top level of your
C: drive by default, e.g.
C:\Python26.
You can check for a successful installation from a command prompt (cmd.exe):
C:\>
cd python26
C:\Python26>
python -V
The output should look something like:
Python 2.6
However, the version string may vary.
