These .pets coexist with other python installations. To make them the default python symlink either /usr/bin/python2.6 or /usr/bin/python3.1 as /usr/bin/python. Both are built without tcl/tk. I currently have both .pets and the Python that comes with devx_xxx.sfs on my puppy.

Python 2.6
Python 3.1

IF YOU DOWNLOADED THIS PET BEFORE NOVEMBER 12, 2009

Please uninstall the old pet and reinstall using the above links. The original pets had some issues.

eh . . . ? There is no Python in the devx.
You mean Genie?

Python 2.5 come with the 4.1.2 devx. Not sure about new devx versions

Installed in 4.3.1

created this with geany (idle not available?)

my contribution was
print 'hi'

The idle uses tcl/tk and I got errors when I tried to compile Python with tcl/tk. If you want a full feature Python IDE here's a Python plugin for eclipse. http://pydev.org/

hi ITAmember,

Ive used your python 2.6 and it works fine...

an odd thing though...there is no libpython2.6.so.1.0 in it...
Ive tried compiling python2.6 myself same thing happen...
is this odd or Ive miss something??? Im noob this so I dont know much...

I need the libpython2.6.so.1.0 for blender...
can anyone help me with this.... Sad

ITAmember · Posted: Tue 10 Nov 2009, 19:16 Post subject:

There's a libpython2.6.a but not a libpython2.6.so? I sense static library communism. Evil or Very Mad

In any case it looks like I need to add some flags to the config script when I recompile. Or maybe it's a problem with the lack of Tcl/TK? But then there wouldn't be any static library... I'll take a look at it.

hi again

thanks for the fast response...Ive manage to run my blender using the libpython2.6.so.1.0 included in the OO.org sfs...
sad thing though...as I run blender it wont execute any of the scripts included....

running from the command-line blender says that the libpython Ive used is from python2.6.1 therefore it cant find or recognize the installed python2.6.4

hope you can find some way around this...

Thanks in advance...

My extensive research (./configure --help Very Happy

) says --enable-shared needs to be added to the configure script command line params. I'm currently building some rather large apps so I won't be able to rebuild until sometime tomorrow. You can build Python with the new params if you can't wait for me.

hi again

thanks for the reply, again... Very Happy

I'll be trying your suggestion...

also I want to build a python with an IDLE/tkinter much like the python for windows...

they say this is hard to do since tkinter is hard to compile...I'm gonna try it though...wish me luck...

tnx...

moogsy continuing happily with puppy...
woof! woof! Laughing

I got the new files uploaded earlier then I thought so you can just redownload the links.

TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS DOWNLOADED THIS PET

Please uninstall your old version and install the new versions. The old versions where build without shared libraries.

moogsydodong · Posted: Fri 13 Nov 2009, 00:29 Post subject:

thank you very much!!!!

I'll try this one...

anyways...do you have any plans of compiling this with tkinter???

if not maybe you can teach me how and try compiling it myself...

...Learning python and blender here...

one happy kennel!!!!

thanks man!!! Very Happy

Just a lucky night...

I've tried compiling python2.6 with tkinter...

luckily it compiled, installed, and run without problems... Laughing

now I have a python with IDLE like the one we get for windows...
I guess there is no need for windows anymore Laughing

now...I'm looking for a place to upload this files....

hmmmm....

ITAmember · Posted: Sat 14 Nov 2009, 00:36 Post subject:

Give it a name that can be distinguished from the pets I named. Go to start->internet->gFTP ftp client, host is ftp.servage.net, user is 123upload, password is puppylinux, create a python subdir and upload your file to there. Then PM forum member MU and ask him to move the contents to http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Programming/.

tnx for the info...

I've named my sfs as python-2.6.4_tcl-tk-8.5_431.sfs...

sad to say I cant use gFTP since my home PC is not connected in the internet...I go online only in Internet cafe during breaks and weekends...

in all cafes here in the Philippines the OS is windows...
maybe I'll use Filezilla to do the upload tomorrow or on Monday...

now I'm gonna explore easyGUI and _tkinter....

taking small steps here...
