Hi, You don't need root priviledges to install Python for Maemo. Just download the pymaemo runtime from pymaemo.sf.net and install it using the application installer on the Nokia 770. Uninstalling is also that easy. If you wan't to install the pymaemo on the Maemo SDK on your PC you might need some tricks, but that is quite straightforward also. - Teemu On 5/22/06, mrn at post.cz <mrn at post.cz> wrote: > > Hi, here is a short question: > > what is the secure way to install python ? > how did you install python on your n770 ? > > (as mentioned in some previous threads, > when installing python as root with the 'for .. dpkg -X ..' trick > the app.installer database gets damaged, so app.installer > no more works, nevertheless after some further dpkg -X steps > the whole OS hangs) > > I need python, but do not want to flash the machine after each trial. > thnx a lot!!!! > mrn > > _______________________________________________ > maemo-users mailing list > maemo-users at maemo.org[image: mail] > https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users > > > -- Teemu Harju http://www.teemuharju.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
