Hello Team,


I have small idea regarding installation of Python27 while installing FME desktop or server.

As we all know Python27 is going to be deprecated soon, So why can't we suggest Python installation with latest version which could be compatible with latest versions of FME desktop or server.


Hope if we have given a option to install latest compatible python version along with the FME desktop or server installation then it may save some time and no need do go for other configurations to map to the latest version of python.


Thanks...

FME does install with the latest version of python, the install prompt is whether to install 2.7 in addition to 3.x, no need for additional configuration unless you are installing additional python packages.

Thanks@jdh, If I opt option to install 2.7 as well then what is the process to map to the latest version of python? Actually I have a python start and shutdown scripts calling externally, So I thought it would be better to go with 2.7 installation.

 

When I edit the parameter python compatibility under scripting with 3.+ I was getting some compatibility errors. How can I overcome those issues. Error message was failed to evaluate Python script `def ParamFunc():

Hi @nag

Thanks for posting this Idea! As jdh mentioned, FME 2019+ installs Python 3.x by default.

The installer also contains a prompt for installing Python 2.7, which is an optional component. Selecting this option will install Python 2.7 for the FME installation. For more information on Python 2.7 deprecation in FME, please see the following article: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/71635/python-27-deprecation.html

I will close this idea as the functionality suggested is already included within FME. I see you've posted a few questions in our Community already. Our community will be the best place to find answers If you are still running into issues with Python in FME 2019+.
