I run a bot in my desktop PC and I would like to use my N800 to do this job. The problem is that the bot is made for python 2.7 and the version in Maemo is 2.5.
Is there any way to install python 2.7 on N800 or any workaround to make the bot work?

Thanks for your help.

FWIW, I have Python 2.7.3 on my n810; I needed it for something
(ages ago, I even forget what...). The important "but" is that I'm
going to tell you it's just a /usr/local/bin install. If you know what
that means then I can supply the bits. If you need a package, then
I'm really not set up to supply one. Perhaps somebody else
will come to the rescue in that case!

If you mean that I will have to manually copy the files to /usr/local/bin, I can do that.
Thanks for your help.

Actually, it'll be /usr/local (there are bin, lib, and include files).
You can pick it up at:

Hope it helps,

Thank you.
I have extracted the files, but now I get the following error:
Code:
error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've googled that message. So, I added
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
to .bashrc but that solution did not work.

Is there something else I can do?

Hi,

Looks like the port wanted an updated TCL/TK. Add these
(also to /usr/local):

Thank you for the files. It's nice to have a more useful build of python available

Edit
To make my life easier and to avoid messing with the existing python env I went with the shell alias:method so that when I type python it uses 2.7 vs 2.5 yet when system apps look for python they should still use the version they are expecting.
Code:
alias python=/usr/local/bin/python2.7
