With the next major version Cinema 4D R17 (SP1 to be precise) we will move from Python 2.6.4 to Python 2.7.9.
From then on Python 2.6.4 will not be used anymore.

The reason for this decision were minor issues in Python 2.6 and increased compatibility with other 3D packages.

In most cases this change should be no problem. Tests with existing scripts/plugins showed, almost
all scripts, plugins, etc. are compatible with Python 2.7. Only in very rare cases adjustments need to be made.

Note for Custom compiled Python C-modules:
If a plugin is based on a Python C-module, this module needs to be recompiled. Latest Xcode version and Visual Studio 2012 SP4 should be used for this.

New in Python 2.7

Same goes for byte-compiled Python code. You can do something like this

if sys.version.startswith('2.7') :  
  module_path = 'res/modules_27'
else
  module_path = 'res/modules_26'
  
with _localimport(module_path) :  
  import module_a
  import module_b

Hello

I test several cython and with numpy/scipy plugins

got errors with finding of Python.h and etc. !Dead[URL-REMOVED]

Who moved headers from:
resource\modules\python\Python.win64.framework\ include
to:
resource\modules\python\Python.win64.framework\include\ **python27

** and why? **

** p.s. libs same, resource\modules\python\Python.win64.framework\libs\

We're sorry we didn't revealed that the python includes are now in a "python27" subfolder in R17.
But this isn't a big issue. The paths can be changed in your project and that fix it.

Thanks.
I caught it when installing of scipy wheel. I copy headers.
I thought it will be something new... probably methods to switch between different versions of python.

P.s.

We're sorry we didn't revealed that the python includes are now in a "python27" subfolder in R17.

Does it fit to standards of python distribution?
for example to install cython or py modules like in install packages

Great job! Nice to see it's working.
Btw, the headers were moved to python2.7 so includes are now more future proove.

#include "python27/Python.h"

Hello Sebastian. Thanks a'lot for hard job!
No-no, i simply modify FabricEngine\Samples\EDK\HelloWorld est.py
adding c4d stuff and simplify node-operator(to string, without externals)

I rethink about Python.win64.framework , made another dir py27_vc11 as source for compilation of 3dparty stuff and use User-Dir python for store of 3dparties modules
or use mingw

Not cool. I copy&paste
About binaries, i used native python modules which include in beta FB 2.0. I copy to user dir.
I think you can to ask Fabric team to beta-testing, at their site. http://fabricengine.com/get-fabric

Is there a pyside binary that works with R17?
I'm guessing I'll have to compile this my self?
