Transferring Python Programs

When transferring Python programs from a non-TI platform to a TI platform OR from one TI product to another:

• Python programs that use core language features and standard libs (math, random etc.) can be ported without changes.
Note: List length limit is 100 elements.
• Programs that use platform-specific libraries - matplotlib (for PC),
ti_plotlib/ti_system/ti_hub/etc. for TI platforms, will require edits before they will run on a different platform.

This may be true even between TI platforms.
