How can I discover which version of Python I am running? - StephenG1CMZ - 05-16-2023 10:30 AM
So far I have this (tested only on Numworks):
Code:
"""XMH Explore My Host.
This version identifies which calculator you are on.
"""
crme="""
© 2023 StephenG1CMZ
"""
crid="XMH\nExplore My Host"+crme
try:
import casioplot
isCasio=True
except:
isCasio=False
try:
import ion
isNumworks=True
except:
isNumworks=False
if isNumworks:
try:
import os
fork="Omega" #alternative
except:
fork="Epsilon" #Main
try:
import ti_system
isTI=True
except:
IsTI=False
print(crid)
if isCasio:
print("Casio")
if isNumworks:
print("Numworks", fork)
if fork=="Omega":
print(os.name)
if isTI:
print("TI")
if isCasio or isNumworks or isTI:
isCalculator=True
else:
isCalculator=False
print("Unrecognised Host")With the news that Python may be coming to the HP Android, I wonder how it might best be recognised?

You could try something that uses sys.platform like
Code:
try:
import sys
try:
if sys.platform == "HP Prime":
IsPrime = True
else:
IsPrime = False
except AttributeError:
IsPrime = False
except ImportError:
IsPrime = False
print("IsPrime:", IsPrime)RE: How can I discover which version of Python I am running? - Guenter Schink - 05-16-2023 07:19 PM
You could also use, similar to Casio and Ti:
Code:
try:
import hpprime
IsPrime = True
except:
IsPrime = False
print("IsPrime = ", IsPrime)Günter

Ah, so there are two alternatives.
The try import hpprime matches how the other calculators are detected.
But the prime version also has sys.platform.
That has the advantage that sys.platform will also show if the code is running on non-calculator hosts.

I have placed a version here, using the built-in sys where it is available:

Tested only on Numworks as Python has yet to reach HP Prime Android.
