Generally, Python extension modules written in C or C++ are specific
to a particular version of Python. However, I believe that athenaCL is
pure Python and, as such, ought to be able to work Python 2.6 or 2.7.

Regarding the multiple versions of Csound, these are your options:

(1) Uninstall all versions, then install the version you actually want to use.

(2) Install as many versions as you like, but set up a batch file for
each specific version of Csound that will create the PATH, PYTHONPATH,
OPCODE64DIR, and other environment variables required for that version
of Csound. Then, before using Csound, open a Windows console and
execute the batch file, and run Csound, QuteCsound, Python, etc., from
that console only.

(3) Similar to (2), except that you create different users on your
computer, and in the Control Panel, System, Advanced, Environment
Variables dialog you set these environment variables for that user.
Then to use a specific version of Csound, you log onto Windows as that
user, e.g. mkg513 or mkg512.

Hope this helps,
Mike

It would be really great if both versions could ship with the windows
installer as happens on OSX. Like you said, a simple batch file could
be executed from the Csound command menu whenever someone wants to
change between versions. It could for instance be set to doubles by
default. I still have my reservations with regards to using doubles
for realtime performance. The downside to my paranoia is me having to
build csound myself.

...just wanted to mention that there is a 4th option of using the
"subst" dos command, which lets you map a directory to an unused drive
letter without having to reboot or logon as a different user.  I've
been using this method for over a year now using several different
versions of Csound.

Sure!

1) Choose an unused drive letter.  I use "S:"
2) Change all the environment variables related to Csound to use "S:"
instead of "C:\Program Files\Csound"
3) Use the "subst" command to map "C:\Program Files\Csound" to drive
"S:\" using ...

subst S: "C:\Program Files\Csound"

4) To change Csound versions, use the /d flag to unmap S:, then map a
different Csound directory ...

subst /d S:
subst S: "C:\Program Files\Csound-floats"



What's really nice about the "subst" command is you can put a .bat
file on the desktop and drag/drop Csound directories onto as needed.
Here's the .bat file I use ...

--------------------

subst /d S:
subst S: %1
echo.
pause

--------------------

~ andy.f

Yes, thanks for the tip. This actually is what I do on Linux, but I
forgot you can also do it on Windows. On Windows 7, indeed, you can do
a symbolic link pretty much the same as on Posix (though the command
is different, I forget what it is exactly).

That depends on the system, imo.  If it's underpowered, Windows 7 may
not be a good idea.  I usually go with "If it aint broke, don't fix
it" =)
