Title: python version in pdaxrom 1.0?
Post by: jeffk on March 11, 2004, 01:54:24 pm

I\'m getting a zaurus to run pdaxrom, specifically to have a mobile python and ssh workstation.  I\'m going to need to use python on it right away. Can anyone tell me what is the installed/installable version of python in pdaxrom 1.0? I\'m hoping it\'s the current 2.3.3...

Second question: How difficult is it to compile garden-variety python C extensions, such as database adapters or Python Imaging Library? These usually build on any *nix machine with make and gcc.

Also interested in which python-bound gui libraries are installed/installable. PyGTK would be fine.

Thanks.

there were some python ipks for the old x11 rom -- I haven\'t had a chance to
test them with the new rom to see if they\'re compatible -- I also would like pyqt, etc.

If anyone is doing any recompiling, it would be *great* to see python2.3.3, -devel, and the new pygtk version ported to pdaxrom1.0 soon. I haven\'t yet tried any .ipk compilation, so I don\'t know how hard this is.

I get my first 860 next week, and I\'m *extremely* eager to get right into python development with it, even if only non-gui stuff at first.

Can somebody with the pdaXrom do a

Code: [Select]

find / | grep python | grep _gtk.so to see whether it comes with PyGTK preinstalled?

The pdaxrom doesn\'t have \'find\' or \'python\' or pygtk preinstalled.
