I cant install Python for PW2 and up from NiLuJe snapshot, help

pw5 · 04-23-2025, 02:48 AM

I trying to install Update_python_0.15.N_install_pw2_and_up.bin from NiLuJe snapshot, and boom, MRInstaller log said the package is not targeting my PW5, any help and how to install python to PW5. Also, does install python on PW5 running 5.17.1.0.3 possible?

note: english is not my native language btw tho, so i'll leave some error while writing this

You will need to look for the python 3.11 hardfloat package. See this message for more information: Python 3.11 for HF devices (firmware >= 5.16.3).

Basically, Kindle firmware versions below 5.16.3 use software floating point while firmware revisions 5.16.3+ use hardware floating point.
