PythonMBS.ExecPrefix as String

This is derived through a number of complicated rules from the program name set with Py_SetProgramName() and some environment variables; for example, if the program name is '/usr/local/bin/python', the exec-prefix is '/usr/local'.
The value is available to Python code as sys.exec_prefix. It is only useful on Unix.

Background: The exec-prefix differs from the prefix when platform dependent files (such as executables and shared libraries) are installed in a different directory tree. In a typical installation, platform dependent files may be installed in the /usr/local/plat subtree while platform independent may be installed in /usr/local.

Generally speaking, a platform is a combination of hardware and software families, e.g. Sparc machines running the Solaris 2.x operating system are considered the same platform, but Intel machines running Solaris 2.x are another platform, and Intel machines running Linux are yet another platform. Different major revisions of the same operating system generally also form different platforms. Non-Unix operating systems are a different story; the installation strategies on those systems are so different that the prefix and exec-prefix are meaningless, and set to the empty string. Note that compiled Python bytecode files are platform independent (but not independent from the Python version by which they were compiled!).

System administrators will know how to configure the mount or automount programs to share /usr/local between platforms while having /usr/local/plat be a different filesystem for each platform.

PythonMBS.LibraryBuildInfo as String

MessageBox PythonMBS.LibraryBuildInfo

The value is available to Python code as part of the variable sys.version.

e.g. returns "main, Dec 3 2024, 17:59:52"
(Read only property)

PythonMBS.LibraryCompiler as String

MessageBox PythonMBS.LibraryCompiler

The value is available to Python code as part of the variable sys.version.

e.g. returns [Clang 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.4)]
(Read only property)

PythonMBS.LibraryCopyright as String

MessageBox PythonMBS.LibraryCopyright

The value is available to Python code as sys.copyright.
(Read only property)

PythonMBS.LibraryError as String

(Read only property)

PythonMBS.LibraryPlatform as String

MessageBox PythonMBS.LibraryPlatform

On Unix, this is formed from the “official” name of the operating system, converted to lower case, followed by the major revision number; e.g., for Solaris 2.x, which is also known as SunOS 5.x, the value is 'sunos5'. On macOS, it is 'darwin'. On Windows, it is 'win'.
The value is available to Python code as sys.platform.

Value is e.g. "darwin" on macOS.

PythonMBS.LibraryVersion as String

Returns e.g. "3.12.3 (main, Apr 9 2024, 08:09:14) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)]"
(Read only property)

PythonMBS.Loaded as Boolean

Returns true if loaded or false if not.

PythonMBS.MonotonicTime as Int64

MessageBox PythonMBS.MonotonicTime.ToString

e.g. 1221942957636375
(Read only property)

PythonMBS.Path as String

This is computed from the program name (set by assigning ProgramName) and some environment variables. The returned string consists of a series of directory names separated by a platform dependent delimiter character. The delimiter character is ':' on Unix and macOS, ';' on Windows.
The list sys.path is initialized with this value on interpreter startup; it can be (and usually is) modified later to change the search path for loading modules.

e.g.
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.12/3.12.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python312.zip:/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.12/3.12.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12:/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.12/3.12.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/lib-dynload

PythonMBS.Prefix as String

This is derived through a number of complicated rules from the program name set with Py_SetProgramName() and some environment variables; for example, if the program name is '/usr/local/bin/python', the prefix is '/usr/local'.
The value is available to Python code as sys.prefix. It is only useful on Unix.
(Read only property)

PythonMBS.ProgramFullPath as String

This is computed as a side-effect of deriving the default module search path from the program name (set by assignment to ProgramName).
The value is available to Python code as sys.executable.
This is usually the path to your Xojo application.
(Read only property)

PythonMBS.ProgramName as String

Can be set before initializing Python, otherwise the default will be "python".
(Read and Write property)

PythonMBS.PythonHome as String

The value is set by a previous with setting PythonHome property, or the value is the value of the PYTHONHOME environment variable if it is set.
(Read and Write property)

PythonMBS.RecursionLimit as Integer

Default is 1000.
(Read and Write property)

PythonMBS.Time as Int64

MessageBox PythonMBS.Time.ToString

Return the time in seconds since the epoch as a floating-point number. The handling of leap seconds is platform dependent. On Windows and most Unix systems, the leap seconds are not counted towards the time in seconds since the epoch. This is commonly referred to as Unix time.
