Python 2.7 support?

[mathgl]

Hi all

I plan to use ice 3.4.1 with python 2.7 on both windows and ubuntu. Did anyone use python 2.7 & ice before? I notice the official release supports 2.6 only.

thanks.

Hi,

Since our binary distributions are compiled against Python 2.6, they will not be compatible with Python 2.7. However, you shouldn't have any problems using Python 2.7 if you compile Ice from source. In fact, I just compiled the Python extension from Ice 3.4.2 against Python 2.7 on Windows with Visual Studio 2008SP1 and our Python test suite ran successfully.

Regards,
Mark

Mark you mention you have Ice working with Python 2.7. Why not build the new release and make it available for download? I am also using Python 2.7 and it crashes while importing the Ice module. Currently i do not have the option of building from source.
