[Tutor] A required question

[Avi Gross]

David,

As I suspected. Yes, I am aware how to do those things. Just wondered if anyone automated the process so a fairly simple interface worked. 

I am dropping the request.

Avi

discussion of a “require” library probably isn’t necessary.  It’s pretty straightforward to include the logic using existing methods.

For the version of python, test against sys.version_info For the modules, put your import calls in a try block and handle exceptions For the OS version, test against os.name or sys.platform The last one, “functionality,” is a bit vague.  Probably another candidate for a try block.
