I've just checked: lots of python but development tools seem not to be there (Ubuntu 14.04 64bit). I can use plugins.

I note that Sigil 0.8.0 auto installs the 2013 C++ Re-distributable package (I think), personally I would rather it didn't do that automatically, and give me the option of doing it manually, perhaps with a link to where to get it. Maybe the Sigil Forum needs to have a Developers Sub-forum and a Users Sub-forum - the plug-in threads could be sticky's in the latter. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 09-28-2014 at 06:41 PM. |

The version of Python I have installed is from the OFFICIAL website at python.org. I have pycrypto installed, but that's about it. The version I have a 2.7.6 32-bit.

@JSWolf - what happens if you uninstall that version of Python, do the plugins still work?

Python runtimes generally ensure good forward compatibility as long as you stay on a major version; i.e., code written for 2.4.x will typically work on 2.5.x, 2.6.x, and 2.7.x, and code written for 3.0.x will tend to work on 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4.x. Compatibility between minor releases (i.e., 2.7.6 versus 2.7.7 versus 2.7.8 etc) is almost a given since they're bugfix-only releases; problems there happen very, very rarely, and you can generally run code written for 2.7.something on earlier 2.7 versions. This is especially true for Python 2.x, since it's in conservation mode (no newer 2.x versions will be released, just bugfixes.) |

If you have calibre there is a fair chance you will have python extensions anyway. |

Hi,
I am not sure what you mean by "developer tools" exactly. The plugins require you to have a python interpeter installed if you want to run plugins since they are written in python. Python is quite a popular scripting language. Calibre is in fact a rather large python program. Calibre comes with its own specially modified and expanded version of python. Instead of packaging up python into Sigil and greatly growing the size of the Sigil download and possibly duplicating already existing python installations, we simply allow users to use any python interpreter that they already have installed on their system. Most Mac OS X and Linux users already have python2.7 installed on them as it is a standard part of their OS. Windows users can download and install a free community edition of ActiveState's ActivePython2.7.X to install. Just like you download and install any other software package. Once installed, Sigil can be set to use your installed python2.7 package to run the plugins. As I don't see plugin support going away, it is not a "for-now only" thing. That said, if you don't want to use any of the plugins, you don't need python, and Sigil will continue to run just fine. Hope this helps. KevinH Quote:

You should have no trouble building Sigil from source, then. You can make it sing and dance to any tune you like that way.
