Of course I can carry my testing suites, etc., over to the production environment: This is will be all part of my code base, which I AM allowed to implement. Duh! If all Python standard libraries are installed on the two Python environments (2.4 and 2.6), then testing should not be an issue, other than taking the time to backtrack and get it going. Now VCS/DVCS programs is another matter entirely, but after hearing Laura's and Alan's input, one or both these solutions can surely be implemented. But is even this an issue? If I do my actual code writing on my Windows PC on which I AM allowed to install Git or whatever, and FTP the code to run to either the 810X or the production SE environments, then I will always have version control in place. I reread Steven's post tonight, and he actually answered affirmatively to this question; it just did not penetrate until this evening. boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
