It ran out of space, yet the only other thing I installed was git..

Valentin Haenel

I installed python-light and that was installable. But beware you will need 50MB or more to install a full-stack:

https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/software/python

You can also attempt to use USB-Storage as root-fs:

http://gdgbasel.com/2015/12/06/installing-python-on-onion-omega/

That should give you more than enough space to install anything you want.

PK Shiu

These are the packages I installed to get things like HTTP request working:

okpg install python-light
opkg install python-codecs
okpg install python-openssl
okpg install python-logging
And for the various expansion:
pkg install pyOledExp

As you said there is no room for full python.

@Valentin-Haenel There are also instructions in the Omega Wiki for using USB storage as root fs - see: https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Using-USB-Storage-as-Rootfs

I use it all the time since I want to use Java running under jamvm and this also needs more storage than the Omega standardly has.

Hi,
I have done the following here and installed python but there isn't anything in /usr/bin/python. I installed python using opkg install python and it has created a directory under /usr/lib/python2.7.
Any tips?

Michael Vowles

Bump, anyone?

Larry Battraw

@Michael-Vowles doesn't sound like you got a complete install of python. Once I set up /overlay on an SD card I installed python and it looked like this:

opkg install python

@Larry-Battraw Btw, Omega1 and Omega2 do not use the same CPU.
