What is Python?? How do i get rid of it??
 
And do i need it?? I am new to this. I notice when i go to xterminal and type df -h and see
/opt/pymaemo/usr/lib/python2.5 1.3G 32% used
/lib/python2.5
/pt/pymaemo/usr/share/pyshared 1.3G 32% used

Did it occur to you to search for "python" before creating another thread?

Many apps you can download from the repositories are written using Python! So I'd really recommend you not to remove this!

python is a big snake that lives in your device, it eats filesystem and dives nodes... but seriously, you need it trust me... google it.

I know it runs some sort of script or whatever...but the reason i question it is because all of sudden it appears in xterminal where before..it's not there when i type df -h.

what you see are mounts used for python, it is needed to run your apps. it probably appeared because you have installed something.

use
Quote:

df -h | grep root
to see only the root partition or replace root with anything you want to filter.

python is a programming language in the same way as c, c++ or anything like that.

Because previously it was not optified. Those binds you see in df show the python stuff is now on opt, so not using precious NAND space.
