 Theme to use for the Mystic BBS Configuration System.

+Mystic supports Python 2 and Python 3.  These settings allow you to set the location/name of the Python library that Mystic will try to load. Try blank values first but if this does not work then you must set the value to your installed Python location/library.
-=== Python Library 3 ===
+For example in Linux you could search for the library like this: "sudo find /usr -name 'libpython2.7*.so*'
+This should give you the location of your Python 2.7 library.  If you do not have Python 2.7 installed then you can usually install it via a package manager.  For Ubuntu 20.04 for example you can do:
+sudo apt install libpython2.7
-xx
+Repeat the same process for the Python 3 as well.  In Windows the DLL files are usually python27.dll and python3x.dll where x is the version and the installation typically puts them in your C:\WINDOWS folder tree somewhere.
+As always the installed bit version of Python must match the installed version of Mystic.  For example 64-bit Windows needs 64-bit Python.
