Python for kindle

Matan · 10-18-2011, 07:05 AM

This zip file contains python 2.7.2 for kindle.

It can be installed using launchpad's customupdates feature, or simply unzipped under /mnt/us. If you unzip in another location, you should edit the included file pythonenv.

To run python, source the file /mnt/us/python/pythonenv and run the binary /mnt/us/python/usr/bin/python.

The package actaully contains the Debian Wheezy packages python-minimal, python2.7-minimal, python2.7 and libssl1 (rebuilt to use older libc).

I don't think you did all that. You probably did _not_ source the file /mnt/us/python/pythonenv - or you installed to another location. That LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment setting in there is mandatory and the culprit in the case of the error you are facing.

Note that _sourcing_ it is needed, not executing it as a shell script (which would only affect a subshell). "source /mnt/us/python/pythonenv".

No, PATH doesn't matter, PATH is for finding executables. It's LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the linker (or an addition to /etc/ld.so.conf - which I do not recommend since it means changing the root fs).

you are right.

But searching paths might be found by strace.

You can also set the library path in a linker option when building an executable. I did this for my programs that use SDL so they look for it in /mnt/us/lib.

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/...870bc7919059ea

for 2.7 easy_install

then

[root@kindle bin]# easy_install pip

for pip

FURTHER NOTES...
I seemingly get version warnings...
The following is not recommended for the average user.

therefore I would recommend the python from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004 instead
