  • Mystic and Python

    From Alonzo@21:1/130 to All on Sat Mar 15 03:10:10 2025
    I have recently updated my Mystic BBS and I have run
    into a problem with Python not working. Can someone
    tell me which version of Python you need for Mystic and
    how you install it? I know it isn't used for everything
    but I need it for my internal Gopher interface. Thanks!

    ... Honk if you love peace and quiet!

    The version you want will need to be the same bit version as your OS

    So I'd say 64 bit and then I think (from memory) Mystic will handle Python 2.7 or 3.x

    There are some notes about this on the wiki and a caution not to mix the versions of Python installs.

    Hope this is of help.

    Best, Paul

    I am running a 32-bit version of Windows 7. It seems to be running ok for the most part. I did install Python 2.7 but Mystic can't seem to find it, even when I type in the exact location. And my Python is a 32-bit version.

    ... ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.
