Install Python 2.7.6 on an Alien2 running Enigma2 PKT Hyperion ?

randal · Nov 17, 2013

I am running PKT Hyperion v2 on an Alien2. When I Telnet in it says the Python version on there is 2.6.6. I was wondering if it is possible to install Python 2.7.6 on Enigma2? It seems there is no sudo or apt-get command in the version of Linux that is used to run PKT Hyperion v2 so I don't know how I could get and install 'needed dependencies'.

If anyone has done it or knows how then any chance of posting a link to the correct download and a little guide on how to do it?

Thanks.

Erm, it's Linux, you can't just whack on the latest version of whatever - you'll likely break summat. Why do you want to anyway? Given I know 'jack shit' about Linux-based sat receivers I do know about Linux - needed dependencies usually mean whatever you're trying to install is significantly different to the base OS you already have.

You need to stay with the versions supported by the image you have installed.

When you look at t he changelog for PKT Hyperion v2 they talk about having it updated to python 2.7 and some plugins require python 2.7. But when I check what version is on my PKT Hyperion installation using Telnet is says Python 2.6.6 and indeed there is a folder in /usr/lib called python2.6. Maybe I should just trust what they say... maybe it's not really 2.7 they have on PKT v2 but Python 2.6 with a few extra libraries.

Cheers.

'python -V' will reveal your Python version. Are you on the latest OS version?

I suppose by OS version you mean Linux? I'm not sure what type of Linux it is on my Alien 2 or whether its the latest version.. maybe it's some kind of custom Debian build.. would you know?

I'm not sufficiently up-to-speed with sat-box images to comment but you can be certain it's no standard 'Open' version of Linux - that would be massively overweight. If no-one pokes their nose in by this time tomoz I'd go look for a later image.
