Python3Script Class (console safe)

A class that encapsulates the Python 3 script engine. You should not create instance of this class. Its a singleton class and all its functions are static and can be called without instance.

shared ClearErrorClears the error indicator, making ErrorOccurred return false again.
shared ErrorOccurredReturns true if error has occurred, else false.

shared GetErrorGets the error message if the ErrorOccurred property indicates there was a error.
shared GetModuleGets a python module, looking for it at Pythons default path and custom paths.
shared InitCall this method to initialise the Python engine for your application. This variation takes no parameter.

Important installation information:

Note that on Windows systems to be able to test both 32 bit and 64 bit on same machine then I had to first install 64 bit Python from the python-3.4.3.amd64.msi, and then python-3.4.3.msi, selecting other path for the 2nd one and unchecking register extensions. I tried first to do it the other way, 32 bit first and then 64 bit but could not get that to work, maybe it is possible though.

Supported Platforms:

  • macOS Intel 64 bit
  • macOS Apple Silicon
  • Windows 32 bit
  • Windows 64 bit
  • Windows ARM 64 bit
  • Linux 32 bit
  • Linux 64 bit
  • Linux ARM 32 bit
  • Linux ARM 64 bit
