How do I update Python?

Post by tommymsw »

Forgive me because I know nothing about Python, but my SabNzbd says it is running on 2.5.5 but my SickRage is running on 2.7.10. Don't you have only one version on your computer (I am on Windows). How would I update the python on Sab. I have the latest version 0.7.20

The Windows packages for SABnzbd and SickBeard have their own Python runtime included.
These can happily live together on a single computer.

Nice... Ok, so how do I update Python ONLY for SAB? I installed SAB using the installer. If I do a fresh install with the latest installer, will that give me the latest Python?

Besides Python you'll need a lot of modules.
Why do you want to upgrade Python?
Just use release 0.8.0 Beta1

Well, I used the Windows installer. Doesn't that install everything you need? (Been a long time since I installed it so I can't remember). I am having problems with the newest SickRage scripts working and figured maybe it has something to do with Python (per some stuff I read online). Plus it says on the Sabnzbd page that 7 is the preferred Python version, so I figured it couldn't hurt? But if you think I don't need to, then I won't bother.I don;t know a lot about SabNzbd because it works so well, I've never had to spend any time on the forum.

The installer has everything that SABnzbd needs.
However, it's not a full Python installation.
If you want to run Python scripts, you need to install a full Python interpreter, I recommend ActiveState's Python.
SABnzbd won't use it, but your Python scripts will.
