Python programs on different Operating Systems

Question

If I write a python script using only python standard libraries, using Python 2.6 will it work on all Operating Systems as long as python 2.6 is installed?

Answer 1

Depends. There are a few parts of the Python standard libraries that are only available on certain platforms. These parts are noted in the Python documentation.

You also need to be careful of how you handle things like file paths - using os.path.join() and such to make sure paths are formatted in the right way.
