PW4 Need help with python

[0x6c616d70]

I suspect my kindle pw4 did not successfully install python (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=195474) or at the very least don't know how to access it via making new KUAL extensions or kterm. Do you guys know how to confirm that it's installed properly or how to access it via command.

My device has been jailbroken and updated to the latest fw (5.13.6) before downgrading it back to factory (5.10.3) jailbreaking then updating to (5.13.3). I was expecting to find a python folder, something I had on my first jb, but it's not there right now.

I'm trying to make screensaver generator with python, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

[j.p.s]

Did you install python before or after updating to 5.13.3?

Updating the firmware wipes out all the installed packages.

I did, then I tried installing it again via mrpackages.

OK.

There should be a /mnt/us/python directory and the

python

command in kterm should result in something like this:

[root@kindle us]# python
Python 2.7.15 (default, Jan  3 2019, 09:14:18) 
[GCC 7.3.1 20180425] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

After entering "python" on kterm this is the output

[kterm]# python
/bin/sh: python: not found
[kterm]#

There's no python folder in mnt/us/ so at least I'm sure that there really is a problem in the installation. Thanks.

I suspect that it's being blocked in some way, but I don't know enough to be certain.

For now I'm trying to prod into kindletool, I don't know what it does exactly but I hope I can get a clue on how to install it manually.

What ended up happening was that I used the wrong package. NiLuJe helped me resolve this on his snapshot thread
