splnut Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I tried to search but cant seem to find an answer. Is it possible to install python 2.7 on unraid? I am trying to install a program called MovieGrabber from the Sabnzbd forums and it requires python 2.7. Thanks Link to comment
splnut Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Is there a link to show me how to do this? Any help would be appreciated as my searches have failed me. Link to comment
MTA99 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 If someone can find a python 2.7 txz file I'll walk splnut through the install. So far my googling has failed (just a load of results asking "why no python 2.7 yet"). Link to comment
splnut Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 This is why I was asking how to install it as I couldnt find a slackware package to install. Thanks again. Link to comment
dbrown2 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Has anyone found a way to add python 2.7 to UnRaid server? http://www.python.org/getit/releases/2.7/ Thank you for your help. trying to get MovieGrabber to work. Link to comment
joeshmoe1 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I also need 2.7 for calibre. Link to comment
joelones Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Would someone be kind enough to provide details on getting python 2.7 working on 4.7? Google was no help. Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Have you tried installing the Python 2.7 package from Alien for Slackware located here: http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/calibre/build/ It looks like he has it for Slackware 13.1 and 13.37 which should work with the more recent 5.x beta series of unraid.

joelones Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Have you tried installing the Python 2.7 package from Alien for Slackware located here: http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/calibre/build/ It looks like he has it for Slackware 13.1 and 13.37 which should work with the more recent 5.x beta series of unraid. Thanks for the reply Brit, did come across that while searching, however, I'm still on unraid 4.7. Any options for me? Link to comment
dragonfyre13 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Just posted MovieGrabber as an unmenu package. I mod it in the script so that it works with python 2.6. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18680 Link to comment
eroz Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Any updates on getting python 2.7 on unraid? Link to comment
BRiT Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Have a look at using the files from here for your SlackBuild scripts: https://bitbucket.org/nihilismus/slackbuilds/src/6d7d2617d0b6/python/ There is a slackbuild for Python 3.x series here: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/python/python3/ Link to comment
eroz Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Would I be able to install it without clobbering my sickbeard, sab and couchpotato installs which are using python 2.6.4? The reason I ask is I am trying to get an app to work on unraid, Lazy Librarian, a sickbeard-type app for e-books. I am able to install it and have it run but that is all it does, run and show up on a webgui. After reading up on it over at github and the sab forums it seems it needs python 2.7 to fully work.

BRiT Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It is unknown the impact of trying to move to Python 2.7. I toyed around a bit with the slackbuild for Python 2.7 from bitbucket nihilismus [ https://bitbucket.org/nihilismus/slackbuilds/src/6d7d2617d0b6/python/ ] and I needed to refine one of the patch/diff files as there were some breaking changes in the 2.7.x tree against it. It's only needed for patching lib to lib64 since I'm running on x86_64 platform instead of the 32bit platform. After that little bump, I was able to get it to patch and fully build using "./python.Slackbuild". I have not installed it the resulting artifacts, as I'd be required to then re-install all the multitude of Python addons and plugins. I simply don't have the time to do that now. Link to comment
elmetal Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 no updates on this? I just need 2.7, I would specifically not like 3.x because there are far too many new changes for software to work with it ATM. I can install it no problem I'm sure. the problem would be on a reboot (which should only happen maybe once a month, but will happen nonetheless) Link to comment
JonathanM Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I can install it no problem I'm sure. the problem would be on a reboot (which should only happen maybe once a month, but will happen nonetheless) Just recreate the steps you use to install it in a script and run the script from the go file. That's what the plugins do. Just make sure your script doesn't try to write to the array before it is fully started. Link to comment
eroz Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If you are using any of Influencer's plugins, they install python 2.7. Link to comment
elmetal Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm using all of his plugins, and I believe I'm still on 2.6.x Link to comment
Influencer Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My plug-ins install Python 2.6.6, for those that are wanting the package, you can get it here: http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware//slackware-current/slackware/d/python-2.7.3-i486-2.txz That package is for the current build of slackware, but I tested and it seems to work well with 13.1 as well. EDIT: I'll probably update my plug-ins to python 2.7.3 as well, I try not to update packages too much because others may use the same version to stop clobbering, and updating can fubar that pretty quickly.

joelones Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi, I tried to install the aforementioned python 2.7.3 package by modifying the sabnzbd plg file (changed the md5 checksum, etc) but sabnzbd refuses to start either by using the web interface or the rc script. I get "The Python module Cheetah is required" error. Perhaps we need a newer version of cheetah for 2.7.3? Here is the one in the sab plg file http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/python-cheetah/pkg/13.37/python-cheetah-2.4.4-i486-1alien.tgz. Btw using Influencer's awesome plgs. Thanks Link to comment
Influencer Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Try a restart with your modification. It's possible that the cheetah install symlinks to whatever version of python is installed so if you install a different version it doesnt have the link. Before you do this disable the plugin first so it doesn't fail and cause the server to not come online (just in case the symlink isn't the issue) Link to comment
joelones Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Tried reboot with my modifications, still no go. Other suggestions? Thanks Link to comment
joelones Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 installpkg --warn python-cheetah-2.4.4-i486-1alien.tgz installs cheetah is usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ not the python2.7 dir structure guess that's where the problem lies. Link to comment
Influencer Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Alright, the newer package may install to python 2.7 directory, but it may not. You can open the package with 7zip and change the python2.6 directory to python2.7. That'll fix the issue. Would have to install or download a newer cheetah package to see where it installs to.
