check for mental ray shader version by script

[5inch]

Hi Guys,

I have got the job to check at any of our workstations
which mental Ray shader-version has been installed.
Some users have changed there shaders, and now I have to check
which ones are installed and what version they got.


Does any one of you has done a similar job and can give me a tip what is important to think of?
How important is the .mi and .dll – version of the mental ray – shader?
I have seen that in the .mi file we have a note like:

…
# Version 10.8

min version "3.6.0.6"
max version "3.10.99"
…

What is it about and how can I use it?

Thanks for any given tip!

Cheers,

5inch

Hi Folks,

i got something,

import filecmp 

dir1 = 'D:\\data\\dir_cmp\\shaders_3_8'
dir2 = 'D:\\data\\dir_cmp\\shaders_3_10_1'

listToCmp = filecmp.dircmp(dir1, dir2)

print 'Common: ', listToCmp.common
print 'Directories: ', listToCmp.common_dirs
print 'Files: ', listToCmp.common_files
print 'Same: ', listToCmp.same_files
print 'Different: ', listToCmp.diff_files

now I have to check for the version status…
