For the past hour ive tried to install python2.6 on a lenny chroot but keeps failing. Has anyone got the files and a guide to install python 2.6 or 2.7 within a lenny chroot please.

Getting a little closer but no cigar atm

Gentoo environment within SnakeOs.

Very simple way to chroom into Gentoo which has Python installed.

First need to chroot into a debian shell which has the updated TAR command.
https://code.google.com/p/snake-os/wiki/Debian_Chroot

Next prepare the directories and download the following gentoo packages.

stage3-armv4l-2008.0.tar.bz2
python-2.6.5-[r3].tbz2

Find your closest mirror to download the stage3
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.xml

    ssh to NAS - or putty from win
    make a gentoo directory on your USB attached storage
    #mkdir /usb/{name}/gentoo
    #cd /usb/{name}/gentoo

    Download gentoo fs and python 2.6 using wget:
    # wget http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-linux/arm/armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu/dev-lang/python-2.6.5-r3.tbz2
    # wget http://\{mirror}/experimental/arm/stages/armv4l/stage3-armv4l-2008.0.tar.bz2
    (not all mirrors have the experimental directories)

    # Load the debian FS following step 1 - 7
    # https://code.google.com/p/snake-os/wiki/Debian_Chroot
    # step 8 should look something like this :
      mount -o bind   /usb/{name}/gentoo /usb/{name}/debian/mnt/sda1
      (replace {name} with your USB storage location)

    # chroot /usb/{name}/debian/
    # cd /mnt/sda1
    # tar xjf stage3-armv4l-2008.0.tar.bz2
    # tar xvjf python-2.6.5-[r3].tbz2

    DONE gentoo chroot with 2.6 python (kind of installed)

Whats next...
Someone else to write how to get python2.6 fully installed with sqlite would be helpful. Ive had to guess upto this point but couldnt get python modules to work.

Looks like this will be the last update as I have what was first asked for....

Gentoo chroot
Python 2.6.5

sqlite3.version_info
(2, 6, 3)

Ended up being as simple as installing pysqlite
Homepage = http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/PySqlite

   # cd /home
   # wget http://pysqlite.googlecode.com/files/pysqlite-2.6.3.tar.gz
   # tar xfz pysqlite-2.6.3.tar.gz
   # cd pysqlite-2.6.3
   # python setup.py build_static install

within any python script you want sqlite connected include the following line
   # from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite3

-------------------
I think this is a good alternative chroot to debain
Please wrap this up into a single page and includes on wiki ?
