Installing extra python libraries
#1
i've been doing some development of some scripts in windows and linux and now i'd like to port them to my xbox. they're mostly media based and use a few extra libraries that i have downloaded and installed using "python setup.py install" type commands.

can i do the same for installing them on the xbox or do i need to just copy the contents into the relevant place?

thought i'd better ask before i goose it up.

thanks.

it depends on the libraries.
most of the time, the command "python setup.py install will generate a few .py files and one or more .pyd files". you can copy those .py files to the xbox with no problem. the .pyd (actually windows dll's) files are a bit harder since xbmc emulate most system functions for dll's.
the only way is to just copy the extra libraries to the xbox and run the script (also set the logging to maximum output).
one thing that is sure, is that the install ocmmand will not work on the xbox
