Does an installation on Windows require uninstalling Python versions other than 2.7 beforehand? about tagstore HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi @mpatca,

Thanks for the question.

It's been a while since I took a look at the research framework tagstore because I'm using a different method in my private life.

Somehow, there is no requirements.txt defining the requirements. That's bad habbit. Sorry for that.

When I take a look at https://github.com/novoid/tagstore/blob/master/tagstore.py it states #!/usr/bin/env python which - I guess - lets the OS decide which Python version to use if Python 2 and 3 are installed in parallel.

The Readme mentions Python 2 in an example so I'm afraid that tagstore never got migrated to Python 3 and I don't know how much effort this requires. You can try to apply 2to3 to all py-files and see if that helps without further manual fixes.

If you do have Python 2 and you want to make sure that tagstore is using Python 2, you can change all shebangs of all py-files from #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python2. That should do fine without much changes.

I don't know the answer to your original question: if you'd need to uninstall a Python version on Windows before using tagstore. If so, you'd need to uninstall Python 3 which would be a shame since Python 2 is depricated in the meantime.

I'm closing that issue for the moment - you might continue posting your experience here.
