Current Release

The latest release is Python 2.0, build 1, released October 29, 2000. Features include:

• Based on the 2.0 final Python source
• AREXX support: ARexx module
• Direct AmigaDOS support: Dos module
• Workbench support (accepts Workbench icon tooltypes, arguments and scripts)
• Other Amiga specific enhancements
• First fully Unicode aware AmigaDOS application (as far as I know)
• Contains fast XML parser (Expat)
• Documentation for Amiga features

Previous versions (1.6, 1.5.2 and 1.5.1) are still available!

The latest 1.6 release is still Python 1.6, build 1. The latest 1.5 release is Python 1.5.2, build 5.

Because it is a lot smaller, I decided to keep the 1.5.1 release available for some time next to the 1.5.2 version. I will not release any further updates for the 1.5.1 release. Eventually you should switch to 1.5.2 and up if you want to get the latest updates and fixes.
Also, 1.5.1 is the only version for which there is (beta) I-Net 225 support instead of AmiTCP.

 

Known Bugs and Problems

For the 1.5.x and 1.6 versions, currently no bugs or problems are known.

The 2.0 version appears to have some stack related problem which seems fixed by using a BIG stack (400Kb+).
