while attempting installation of Telethon on either N900(Maemo) or N9(MeeGo), I got stuck with several issues on both systems.

the thread was in the MeeGo area, so I place the question here, too:

looking for python3-setuptools on Maemo, is it somewhere already?

looking for OpenSSL, newer than 0.9.8, same question.

is python3.4 the newest we have, for Maemo?

once we have telethon that can be installed on Maemo, I was considering writing a python-tk program, or you know how to connect python3 on Maemo to Qt?

Maybe pyside is something what you could use?

why two threads on this ?

why two threads... well, I'm not so sure, I didn't want to post about Maemo inside MeeGo, and the solution for one is not going to be usable on the other.

I compiled python 3.5.6 against openssl 1.1.0 this package is untested. But you are welcome to test it.
It was created like the same method used by python3.4 package.

Please report if it is useable or not.

Installation with dpkg is taking a _very_ long time, hildon crashed, ssh connection broke, have to reinstall from osso-xterm now...

edit: nevermind, I had to install the dependencies manually, then it didn't get stuck anymore.

edit2: Success!
That's the latest release.
This sends the CPU spinning at 98% for a full minute (*), then another minute at 20-50% while downloading (fast wlan).

The stock media player plays the resulting video no problem.

(*) Isn't python 2.7 still supported on most Linux distros (2.7.17-1 on mine)? Wouldn't it be lighter on the N900, both installed size & runtime resources?

Halftux, is this stuff helping - indirectly - with Maemo Leste development?

Python was compiled without --enable-optimize, because with optimization there was an error. So I could try to solve the problem and get it compiled with optimize. Other compiler flags and maybe other gcc could possibly also speed something up.

Yes you are right didn't know that, in this case it would be better to update our 2.7.

No because this should work in leste out of the box.

OK thanks; watching videos on this device is not a priority for me, so at your leasure...

Maemish: It should be fairly trivial to write a shell script that can be triggered with a hotkey. No need for a GUI. Though I haven't looked into hotkeys on N900 yet.

The good thing about youtube-dl is that it updates constantly (really important in the cat-and-mouse game esp. YT a.k.a googlevideo like to play) and works with a gazillion sites, audio and video...

I feared as much.
- I do remember your friendly reminder from some other thread, but for me it's important to get familiar with Maemo itself and Fremantle and its current problems now if I plan to use Leste later.

Ok the python 3.5 optimization process could not be done while cross compiling. So I needed to compile on the device in a chroot.

After patching 3.5.6 for compiling warnings I realized that there is 3.5.9 which already has the patches. So I started compiling 3.5.9.
I did many compilings maybe in total 20 different settings (not all on device ) and there was no 100% clean build. Tested 4 differents gcc version but in the end I did come back to stock gcc. For that I need to disable the optimization flag -fprofile-correction, because gcc4.2.1 does not supporting it.

I will attach the build log from my last build. There are some assembler messages but it builds. With other gcc's I was also getting Error: offset too big which breaks compiling.
It could be that one of the linking libraries is not clean or that something was changed in the floating point instructions handler between gcc version or it is binutils (in reality I really don't have a clue).

In principle it should run faster than the previous 3.5.6 build. To gain more speed it could be worth to try a thumb build.

The building took some time only running the test to generate profile data took 4 hours. On device development is fun, but the build time is frustrating. Build log as attachment.

The package needs testing I don't have an use for it, so it is not tested.

This is the version from your repo (3.5.9-maemo1):
As you can see the actual downloading took only 2s, the rest is figuring out what the download URL is.
Nevertheless, it works just fine.

How can I try to compile 2.7.17? Do I need to install gcc-4.2-base or gcc-4.6?
Will the ./configure line from your log help:
???
