Hello Tom,
yes indeed there is no difference (perceptible) that no-phyton sparky performs
better. Im getting use to sparky now. When working with small number of peaks its acceptable. But its not from my pc, unless its a specific thing that its required by sparky... as I reported I tested in 3 different PCs with same results .....in Linux the performance is equivalent to Windows XP !!....I was using (testing) Auremol from Bruker and its unbeliveble how fast was that ....but it had other functions that were really miserable....besides the huge price!!
Dont worry more about this...
Im responsible for installing sparky in the lab for other people to use it andall of themmade some comments saying that is slow and equivalent to Felix installed in the SGIs from the 90s.
If I may be allowed ...I would like to comment just that Im starting to like it but unfortunately the printing, exporting image needs some more work ...other thing could be that the zoom function could be used by the weel button of the mouse ...;etc..please take my comments as suggestions for improving it and making it even more pleasant to work with.....unfortunately I have this problem of trying to perfect things (specially made by others )....this I got was from working in the US for several years :)
Best regards and thanks for all your time ...

Hi PP,

The sparky-no-python. exe executable in the sparky/bin directory is not
intended to be run directly. It is necessary to set some variables before
running it as is done in the sparky.bat script.

To run Sparky without Python change the sparky.bat line

set PYTHON=%SPARKY_ INSTALL% python2.4 python.exe

to

set PYTHON=%SPARKY_ INSTALL% python2.4 python.exeXXX

so that Python will not be found. Then run sparky.bat to start Sparky
as usual. There is rarely a reason to do this. Sparky comes with Python
and I have never seen a case where Sparky with Python did not work or
worked poorly relative to Sparky without Python.
