Will somebody please explain how I can install Python on an N900? I don't need to be told what Python is (I've been programming in it for a living for 10 years). But I know nothing much about Maemo, or debian, or portable computing.

I've found a Qt download on Ovi, but it obviously won't work if I don't have Python. If I search for Python on Ovi, Nokia, or Maemo, the best I get is political discussion.

Please don't say, Google for it, or Look at the website. I've been searching for a week. I did find one alleged installer, but the Maemo's debian package manager declared it invalid with a message like "to be considered compatible the install must have section x with attribute y". Since that message is intended for the install author, the flaw is clearly fundamental: syntactic, rather than something about the environment I am trying to install it in.

I've obviously been looking in the wrong places, but will someone please explain where the right places are? And maybe take some pity on those who don't know where they are already?
