spss.ShowInstalledPlugInVersions Function (Python)

Note: This function is deprecated in release 22. See the topic Working with Multiple Versions of IBM SPSS Statistics (Python) for more information.

spss.ShowInstalledPlugInVersions(). Displays the installed versions of the IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Integration Plug-in for Python. This function displays the installed versions of the plug-in--for example, "spss200" and "spss210" for versions 20.0 and 21.0--and is useful when working with multiple versions of the plug-in on a given machine (see Note below). Use an identifier from this list as the argument to the spss.SetDefaultPlugInVersion function.

Example

import spss
spss.ShowInstalledPlugInVersions()

Note: The functions for managing multiple versions of the plug-in (spss.GetDefaultPlugInVersion, spss.SetDefaultPlugInVersion, and spss.ShowInstalledPlugInVersions) operate within a given Python version, not across Python versions. For example, if you are driving IBM SPSS Statistics from a Python IDE installed for Python 2.6 then you can view and control the versions of the plug-in installed for Python 2.6.
