(LOGO.JPG) Python for OpenVMS

Beginning with Python for OpenVMS version 1.5.2-V007 the mechanism to compile modules has been changed.

There is a central module 'database' that has information about all modules. It is accessed by BLDRUN.COM which has replaced several procedures. (They have never been really documented, so they are not listed here either).

All modules are now defined in file CONFIG_MODULES.TXT. This is a sequential file that can be maintained with a text editor.

During the installation it is converted by the CVT_CONFIG_MODULES.COM procedure to an indexed sequential file named CONFIG_MODULES.DAT.

BLDRUN.COM also needs access to the OpenVMS version table. This information is now maintained in file VMSDAT_VMSVER.TXT. During the installation it is converted by the CVT_VMSDAT_VMSVER.COM proecdure to an indexed sequential file named VMSDAT_VMSVER.DAT to allow faster access.
