Python modules version

The pythonModule.py and pythonUtils.py scripts must change when the communication between Java and Python is upgraded.

The Python modules version is provided by the Framework as a launch argument when starting the Python process. The pythonModule.py script check if its own version is compatible with the version proviced by Java. This means that you normally should replace the pythonModule.py and pythonUtils.py scripts if the Python modules version changes.

Using a lower Python module version

It is possible to use a previous version for a Python module by setting the compatibility attribute:

• Setting to value to 14 or 1.4 use the 1.4 Python version
• Setting to value to 15 or 1.5 use the 1.5 Python version

For example:

      <pythonModule name="module1">
         <pythonImplementation path="pythonAppli" compatibility="13" />
      ...
      </pythonModule>
