Python 3 compiler and interpreter

The betastr.py is written in Python 3, and the system on which you plan to use beta.py has to have Python 3 installed on it. If you are installing Python yourself, it is recommended that you install a recent or maybe even the latest stabile release of Python 3. Loading external packages is easier if you use a Python version 3.4 or later.

If you have some Python running on your system, you can find out its version by starting in. The Python interpreter will respond, e.g.:

$ python3
Python 3.10.12 (main, Jan  8 2026, 06:52:19) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

If you need to install Python, the method varies according to your operating system.

  • On Linux, you can install python3 via synaptic, apt get, or other normal means.
  • On Windows 11, you can install the Python 3 from the Microsoft store.
  • On Mac OS X you also go to the site https://www.python.org/downloads/ and load the Python package for Mac.

In addition to the Python 3 system, you must have the virtual environment established and activated.
