Python, Can Anyone Help Here?
« on: April 28, 2008, 07:55:11 pm »
Have posted this in the Python forum but it seems very quiet over there so thought I would take a chance here and if nobody minded may be someone could give me pointers to how I can install this. Have looked up some of the links supplied in the other forum but they seem to have gone dead in most cases. There was some mention of a cramfs image but again links have gone dead

Any help or pointers would be appreciated

Thinking of learning Python and have downloaded "Python_2.5.1-cackompile2.1_arm.ipk" and "pyqt_3.8.1-onboard-2_arm.ipk" to the SD card on my Z. "Python_2.5.1-cackompile2.1_arm.ipk" won't install to my SD card and complains about dependencies. When i ran "ipkg depends" it moans about the underscore characters and i am fed up of seeing this error, why does ipkg do this when so many packages contain underscore characters?

I have now used "ipkg install" to install the package which seems to have worked but when i run python from the CLI it complains that libpython2.5.so.1.0 cannot load shared object file.....etc

Could someone please link me to a step by step installation guide for the Z which includes the req dependencies.

Should I install both files to memory or can I install them to the card?

What do i use for writing python on the Z, will a simple editor suffice?
