May 31, 2017 The Python geosoft.gxpy 9.2 revision includes many advances that make the api more consistent with current Python best practice, particularly around naming conventions and the consistent use of class instance properties and iterators. As a result, python scripts written for geosoft.gxpy 9.1 will need to be modified to conform to new naming conventions and the use of properties on some classes. The base GX API, which is exposed to Python by the geosoft.gxapi module, is consistent across versions (9.0, 9.1 and 9.2). As a result, the geosoft.pxpy 9.1 will continue to work with Geosoft Desktop 9.2, though both the 9.1 and 9.2 api cannot exist in the same Python environment. While we recommend that your 9.1 scripts be updated to conform to the 9.2 api, should you do need support for both 9.1 and 9.2 you can create separate Anaconda Python environments for each version. For example, you might create an environment 'py35' for Python 3.5 and the GX API version 9.1, and 'py36' for Python 3.6 and GX Developer 9.2. If you are not using the 9.1 GX API at all, it is best ti simply start with the GX API version 9.2 and either Python 3.6 (or Python 3.5 or 3.4 if other applications depend on earlier versions of Python)..
