Python Slave Script

Deadline
1

Hi,
A python slave script which uses the struct module that worked fine in v3.1, now does not work in v4.0?

ie:

import struct

I have also added the following to the repository python search paths:

c:\python26

Regression?

Is Deadline v4 using the same version of IronPython that Deadline v3.1 used?

Deadline 4.0 upgraded to IronPython 2.0, and Deadline 4.1 will be using IronPython 2.6. It could be that the upgrade caused the problem. I believe that IP 2.0 is equivalent in functionality to Python 2.5. Can you try importing ‘struct’ form Python 2.5?

Works fine in python 2.6.4.
Will have to download and install 2.5.5 to test, but I would be really surprised if something as mainstream as “struct” was broken in v2.5.x
Hopefully v4.1 will fix this issue.

FYI.
Installing python 2.5.4 and adding this to the python search path fixes this module from failing to import in v4.0
