[HECnet] Hecnet Peering/Python

Paul, the latest supported VMS versions for Python are 2.7.8 for Alpha and 2.7.9 for Itanium. Which kind of kills the experiment, right? :( Hans -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] Namens Paul_Koning at Dell.com Verzonden: vrijdag 2 januari 2015 20:23 Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] Hecnet Peering On Jan 2, 2015, at 2:08 PM, Hans Vlems <hvlems at zonnet.nl> wrote: It would be nice to move the connection off a Linux box to a VMS system. There is a libpcap version for VMS, it's used by simh. The problem is Python. AFAIK that i s just v2.7 for VMS. I know my systems run that kit, but I don't use it much so a newer version may be available. Hans The Python 3.3 what s new document says that VMS is no longer supported due to lack of a maintainer . So it may be possible to build Python 3.2 on VMS. The current DECnet/Python code wants 3.3, but earlier on I used 3.2 and there isn t much that needs 3.3. (In other words, it would not be all that hard to change it back to allow 3.2.) paul ----- Geen virus gevonden in dit bericht.
