Go here >> http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/installation.html for instructions and installs.

Installation
Warning: It is necessary to remove ALL applications that depends on Python2.4 BEFORE you remove python2.4-runtime. This is necessary to ensure that all python2.4 packages will be correctly removed.

To perform automatic installation install first Base repository and then Python runtime.

OR;

Manual Installation
Warning: It is necessary to remove ALL applications that depends on Python2.4 BEFORE you remove python2.4-runtime. This is necessary to ensure that all python2.4 packages will be correctly removed.

Follow these steps:

Open the Application manager (in Tools menu).

Open its Application catalogue (inside Tools, on the application's menu).

Add the following repositories:

Name: Maemo
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org
Distribution: bora
Components: free non-free

Name: Maemo Extras
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras
Distribution: bora
Components: free non-free

Refresh package list.

Install python2.5-runtime package, which will automatically pull all available Python bindings, but not the development packages.

Note that if you're using Maemo 2.x series you have to replace bora by the appropriate distribution name. Either scirocco (2.1) or gregale (2.2).

I'm having the exact same problem and have tried installing Python 2.5 a number of times.
The message I get is:

Packages missing
osso-thumbnail0 = 0.5-1fix

Any help in rectifying this would be really appreciated.

If you didn't follow the instuctions linked to in the above post... I can't begin to help you. Your post does not indicate where in the process you are having problems.

I followed them and had no (zero, nada, nyet) problems installing Python 2.5

Sorry, yes I did follow the instructions above.

I am running OS2006 on a 770 (not sure if that makes any difference - I'm new to all this).

*edit* Some more info:
I've checked my catalogue list and I have repository.maemo.org and repository.maemo.org/extras for bora, scirocco and gregale.

When I try to install the package it does not download it again (presumably because it has already done so). Is there some way to remove the downloaded package and re-download it? I'm wondering if that may cure the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Okay, finally got it to work. If anyone else is still having trouble this is what I did.
Removed all the application catalogues for repository.maemo.org and r.m.o/extras except the gregale ones (as I'm running gregale).
Reinstalled Python 2.5. This time I got a different error message saying it was not successfully installed.
In xterm as root I ran:
dpkg --purge python2.5-runtime
then
apt-get install -f
I then went back to application manager and reinstalled Python 2.5 (the size of which was now showing as 1kb!) and it installed successfully.

Hi,

I've tried all suggestions but I'm unable to install python2.5-runtime on the latest n800 fw.

This get a 404:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...0428_armel.deb

Anybody that has successfully installed python2.5-runtime with latest n800 can please post the output of

#apt-cache policy libbluetooth1

thanks

Maybe someone mentioned it before (sorry):

When you use Privoxy on your tablet, Python won't install. 'Cannot download' error.

Disable (and remove! Maemo proxy bug!) the proxy settings and try again.
