I'll throw in one point: fortran is an optional install on Linux, too. :-) This is a complex issue, and I'm thinking that the email thread has reached the limit of its usefulness. How about discussing in person at the meeting in a little over a week? I'll add it to the agenda. On May 22,

Let me jump in here with a different perspective. First, for those who don't know me: + I am NOT an OMPI developer + I am NOT an MPI application author either + I am a developer of "competing" HPC communications software (GASNet) + I contribute to OMPI mainly by building release candidates

Good question. All the pythons I see are 2.x (OSX, RHEL). On May 22, 2013, at 12:18 PM, Josh Hursey wrote: > Is this Python 2.x or 3.x? I ask because they are not 100% compatible due to > changes in the language syntax. Meaning not all 2.x compilant Python programs >

Is this Python 2.x or 3.x? I ask because they are not 100% compatible due to changes in the language syntax. Meaning not all 2.x compilant Python programs work with a 3.x interpreter. IIRC there is a way to write a 2.x compliant Python program so that it is also 3.x compliant, but my Python
