RE: [Tutor] Of fish and foul...(aka the Perl require command)
Thanks, That does the trick. Rather than make a function, I'm likely to just do: if sys.version_info[:3] (X,Y,Z): raise RuntimeError Jeff -Original Message- From: Max Noel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 3:34 PM To: Smith, Jeff Cc: tutor@python.org Subject: Re: [Tutor] Of fish and foul...(aka the Perl require command) On Apr 18, 2005, at 19:59, Smith, Jeff wrote: Is there a Python equivalent to the Perl require 5.6.0 Which enforces a minimum interpreter version?

[Tutor] Of fish and foul...(aka the Perl require command)
Is there a Python equivalent to the Perl require 5.6.0 Which enforces a minimum interpreter version? Is there a good Python for Perl Programmers book? It thought O'Reilly had one but I couldn't find it. Was this particular question in the book you recommend?

I found ``Perl to Python Migration'' by Martin C. Brown useful. I think I found this on bookpool.com, but you can always try bookfinder.com which can find pretty much anything.
