Requirements


Python 2.4.3

We wrote the build system in Python because of its excellent portability, and ease of maintenance. Python code has a "cleaner" look to it than Perl, and the C API is easy to use. We have decided to start trailing Python development and stay current to the most recent stable branch. As such, Ribosome now requires Python version 2.4.3.
If you've never seen Python code before, here's an example of a simple program that counts the integers from 0 to 5:
    def print_count(n):
        for i in range(n+1):
            print i
    
    print_count(5)
