I am actually covered under the docker container. Looking at the containers specs:

 

ENV APTLIST="python"

 

And according to:

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/nzbget/builds/bgrusyqyz3anctw7gocbjhb/

 

It grabs 2.7 Python.

 

If you're using our version of NZBGet then yeah, you're sorted. So you don't need python after all.  Might want to remove it from nerdpack then as any packages increase your boot time every so slightly.  One probably not going to make much difference but I found when I left all the packages I needed to do the UnraidDVB stuff in /boot it made a noticeable difference.

So python is needed if anybody is using nzbget and PP Scripts. Those are written in python, hence why I was asking.

Don't run any PP scripts, but it seems to me that when using a docker app (nzbget) and then want to run a python script from within it that python needs to be installed within that docker app.  Installing python outside of the docker is not going to allow you to run python within it.

 

Could be wrong, but that's my 2cents

 

You aren't wrong.  I did try and tell him.....

 

It's another skills issue.. 

 

Haven't played with docker much so pardon my ignorance. I am more familiar with proper virtualization (vSphere, Hyper-V, XenCenter )

 

I'm just joking with you..... but I did tell you...

I don't use nzbget scripts but yes I believe so.  However if you're using nzbget in a docker then python needs to be in the docker not on the host.

 

For sure. No offense taken. I do have to say this is one of the most responsive communities I've been part of. Cheers to you gents.

Cool, just remember to give as good as you get and you'll fit in fine...... 

 

 

For example... 

 

and not leaving out Squid...
