  • Help Python 2.7

    From K4JTT@21:1/136 to All on Sunday, December 03, 2023 15:12:58
    Can someone maybe help me understand how to install Python 2.7 on Mystic.

    I am running the BBS in Windows 10 and want to install a few mods that require Python to be installed. I am clueless on how to install and get Mystic to be aware it is there. Any help on the steps to install would be a great help.

    Mystic.

    First, download python from the official source (https://www.python.org/downloads/) and select the latest 2. version. Follow the install instructions. I would not install it through the windows store.

    Second, once it's installed, locate the file "python27.dll." I copied it to the mystic directory.

    Third, fire up mystic -cfg. Under Configuration --> General Settings, find near the bottom the line "Python2 Library." Enter the path to the python27.dll file.

    Restart mis and you should be good to go.!
