Output of print statement

[dfkettle]

I'm trying to run a very simple script that doesn't do anything except display the version of Python that's included with PSP. I suspect it's Python 2, not 3, but I want to find out exactly which version it is. So I wrote the following script:

Code: Select all

from PSPApp import *
import sysconfig

def ScriptProperties():
    return {
        'Author': u'David Kettle',
        'Copyright': u'',
        'Description': u'Print Python version number',
        'Host': u'PaintShop Pro',
        'Host Version': u'16.00'
        }

def Do(Environment):
    print sysconfig.get_python_version()

The problem is, the window with the output from the print statement isn't being displayed. How do I open the output window?

Thanks.

View -> Palettes -> Script Output

PSP has been using version 2.7 for several versions now. Definitely had 2.7 in version x8 and probably on down to X5. They had asked in a survey if we wanted to move to Python 3 but never made the move. XI had version 2.4 and X2 had 2.5 and so on. I think PSP8 started off with Python 2.2. Nice to keep in mind if you intend to make scripts that are backwards compatible.

Thanks, I looked under the "View" menu, in Preferences, and wherever else I could think of, but no luck. I didn't think to look under "Palettes", that's probably not the most obvious place for it.

*shrug* Hard to say. Though because it is a palette in the UI it's also technically the perfect place for it. xD That or PSP needs to think about renameing the UI palettes as they share a name with Swatch Palettes and Color Palettes and Image Color Palettes. Lots of ambiguity in that name for PSP.

Why not just add a checkbox to the script menu?
