    From Argos@21:1/203 to All on Fri Nov 8 10:45:34 2019
    I have noticed a few mods for Mystic that are actually Python3 scripts. I
    just learned how to install MPL modes and get them to work, however I am clueless how to get Python3 script mods to work.

    Can anyone help or point me into a direction on how to install what it takes
    to run a Python3 MOD on Mystic.

    ...that's possible? Count me as interested, too, what with all the doom-and-gloom coming from the people attempting to kill off Python2.

    I assumed we'd have to wait until g00r00 decided it was time, which might be "never", given Python2's track record.

    AFAIK Python3-based scripts for Mystic just run externally rather than through the internal Python2 module.

    These are not exactly MODs. There are just programs/scripts that you can use everywhere, even if you don't have a BBS. Linux BBS can use any linux terminal app and display it via the BBS, to the user. THis way you can write a
    python2/3 script and use it as a MOD ;)

    But this doesn't apply to Windows. If you use such a script, without a DOOR support to a windows BBS, it wont be displayed to the connected user, but only locally.

    does the Python script run just like the mpl scripts for do I need to install something on my windows box in order to run the python script?

    Nope... it's a Python3 script, so it needs Python3 to run it and if you have a windows machine, as you say, only the sysop could see it locally and not other users/visitors of the BBS.

    I wonder if v3 will come to Mystic now that v4 appears to be on the horizon.
    It would be pretty awesome to get v3 support.

    Speaking of Python, I wonder if v3 support is coming to Mystic now that v4 is on the horizon. I suppose we will know when we know.
