[Python.NET] Allowing Python.Net to run with latest Python version

2020-11-23 Thread Vince Luff 
Hello,

I work on a commercial Python package which I am currently enhancing to use 
Python.Net in order to access some .Net libraries.
Before using Python.Net we specified to end users that the requirement for 
running our package was "Python 3 installed". Now that we are using Python.Net 
we can't say that statement because Python.Net 2.5.1 supports Python 3.8 but 
not Python 3.9.

Since our package is not a stand-alone application, but it instead provides a 
Python API for users Python scripts to call,  it's not an option for us to 
convert the whole delivery into an exe using something like PyInstaller.

So I'm looking for advice about the best option:

  1.   Specify that end users install a specific version of Python (3.8) in 
order to use our application.
  2.  Include Python 3.8 in our installer and install this if it's not already 
installed. Is this a good idea?
  3.  Any other ideas?

Many thanks,
DareDevilDenis

Hi,

Python 3.9 support has been merged upstream on master as well as the 2.5 branch 
(https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/tree/backports-2.5). I'll try to make a 
new maintenance release (2.5.2) with Python 3.9 support this weekend.

Benedikt
