Tools Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks - Page 59

@earljay520: "Need" is a strong word.

I generally update dependencies roughly every month, hence the rebuilds. This *usually* *mostly* concerns the tools bundled in USBNet and Python 3, so, up to you, really.

The x-tc ChangeLog should include all the gory details.

Thanks. Noted.

I may ask if its okay, I am using the screensaver hack with python. Does it work if python 3 also?

@earljay520: If you're not reading KFX, Python isn't actually used at all anymore. But KFX handling still requires Python 2, and that's unlikely to ever change unless someone else does it

So if we are only using Screensaver hack, no need to install Python 3, just go for 2?

NiLuJe · 10-08-2020, 12:39 PM

@RandomGiraffe: Yep. Documentation says "Python". Python 2 package is named "Python"

.

Perfect! What needs Python 3 out of interest? If it’s a whole heap of stuff no worries!

NiLuJe · 10-08-2020, 01:26 PM

@RandomGiraffe: People that want a Python 3 environment? ^^.

Other than that, technically, none of my other (Kindle) hacks depend on it.

Cool thx

Hello mate. I just wanted to be clear. I am not reading KFX. I am just reading mobi files. I am using screensaver hack. Does it still need python?

NiLuJe · 10-13-2020, 08:35 AM

The install will probably fail without it installed, but it won't be technically used at runtime until you hit a KFX file.

So Python first, then installl screensaver. Once screensaver works, I can uninstall the python? And still, the screensaver will work?

NiLuJe · 10-14-2020, 11:14 PM

Possibly. Or there's an extra runtime check for it that I forgot somewhere and this becomes a terrible idea
