Warning: It is necessary to remove ALL applications that depends on Python2.4 BEFORE you remove python2.4-runtime. This is necessary to ensure that all python2.4 packages will be correctly removed.
PyMaemo is taken as a dependency for other applications and it isn't listed by Application Manager anymore. This way if you choose to install PyMaemo by yourself follow the steps below:
OS2007 | OS2008 | |
---|---|---|
Open Application Manager | Open Application Manager | |
ApplicationManager->Tools->Application catalogue... | ApplicationManager->Tools->Application catalogue... | |
There is any bora-extras? If no, add them clicking New button | Edit Maemo Extras | |
Catalogue Name: bora-extras | Uncheck disabled box | |
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras | Click OK and wait refresh | |
Distribution: bora | ||
Components: free non-free | ||
Click OK and wait refresh |
Now run x-term application, to get a command line prompt. Your device must be in RD mode. This is done using sudo flasher --enable-rd-mode.
Inside x-term type (hit ENTER after each line):
- sudo /usr/sbin/gainroot
- apt-get update
- apt-get install python2.5-runtime
When asked to agree, choose Y. Now wait until python is being installed.
If you want to install Python on Maemo SDK (scratchbox), check the steps here.
