Python 2.7.3 for Super Zaxxon

[vandyswa]

Not that it was hard to do, but if anybody needs Python 2.7.3 (the latest in the 2 series)


for the standard OS, send me a note and I can give you a working port. (I needed 2.7 for a quick experiment.)

Nice, but why not just upload it somewhere for everybody to get?


The distribution of python is no problem afaik.

 

[dreamer]

Yeah, just pnd-it and up it to the repo.


Not sure if I like this backdoor-policy

 

[ptitSeb]

I will also probably update the Python compiler inside Code::Blocks PND to the 2.7.3...

 

[FelixNemis]

I second uploading it to the repo.


Even if you don't I'd like a copy, there's a game I'd like to play that needs 2.7

 

[vandyswa]

Yeah, just pnd-it and up it to the repo.

I have /usr/local permanently mounted to an SD card; all my ports are "standard" Linux ports thus filesystem oriented,


not transient squashfs oriented. Anybody who still wants to play with the port can find it at:

I confirm that python 2.7.3 will be included in build 08 of codeblocks PND if you want a pnd alternative.

I confirm that python 2.7.3 will be included in build 08 of codeblocks PND if you want a pnd alternative.

How do I use Python with Code::Blocks or rather without it? I already have a Python package that requires 2.7.3.

Running /mnt/utmp/codeblocks/usr/bin/python3.3 works, /mnt/utmp/codeblocks/usr/bin/python2.7 fails with

As I understand PND's, you would have to include a complete copy of the parts of Python you use in your own PND.

The goal of PND's and .deb's seems quite complementary, and I wish the Pandora had some way to accomodate

both (debroot'ing, to me, is keeping it at arm's length).

Yes, exactely. If you want an example, grab the "blender" PND, and open it (with 7z on windows, or mount it as squashfs on linux/pandora), and take a look. If you want a simple example, grab an old version, tagged 2.49b, as it only include python 2.7.3 (the latest one include both 2.7.3 and 3.3).

Good luck.

I use my Pandora to learn Linux wherever I am at. I finally can say that I use Linux (PCLinuxOS, Debian, & Andgstrom) as primary OS. Windows is now just the family desktop for gaming.

Part of this then is that I am now using my Pandora for learning to use GCC and Python and break away from M$Visual stuff.

I want Python stuff to run normally from the command line and I want to work through the tutorials and use them from a CLI.

I would like to do the same for Python. As well as be able to run games and other programs natively on my pandora.
