If I assume you mean IT2008, then this is overkill. All you need to do is change the links to any repositories that read "http://repository.maemo.org" to "http://repostory.maemo.org". It's not rocket science. This worked for me at the beginning of the week - when who ever it was posted the solution. Took me 3 or 4 mins to make the changes and then refresh repo list. After that, Python just installed.

One thing you have incorrectly stated - from what I can tell, the python runtime installer actually pulls down a bunch of dependancies at the time of install - it was one or more of the dependancies that was causing the problem (which could be verified by manually grabbing the debs via the command line. The python runtime seems to pull down about 6 or 7 files (MIGHT BE MORE - THIS IS A ROUGH ESTIMATE FROM MEMORY.)

easy to get python, uknmp, kagu to install in a breeze
1st-do what the uy above said and clear ur device of all the repo ALL OFF Them!

2nd- create a new repo in the app manager
-name it whateva u want
-type this url http://stage.maemo.org/extras
-here's the catch that made it impossible for apps to install, make sure th distribution box is EMPTY that's what made the app manager crash!
-components: free non-free
- that's it!

3rd- i recomend you install python runtime first as in case it fails again you allready will have what you need!

4th- Download and install all u want, it all works for me !!

i spend the last 3 hours experimenting untill it finally worked! i am going to make a thread of this announcement so all the new users have some guidance
