Starting with python. Would like to view the source code to learn a bit more.

I've python v2.7.9.

 

Should I get the source from here as it is?

https://www.python.o...ython-2.7.9.tgz

 

I just see all these patches with the python-src package (v2.7.3):

Source: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2 file://01-use-proper-tools-for-cross-build.patch file://03-fix-tkinter-detection.patch file://05-enable-ctypes-cross-build.patch file://06-ctypes-libffi-fix-configure.patch file://06-avoid_usr_lib_termcap_path_in_linking.patch file://sitecustomize.py file://multilib.patch file://cgi_py.patch file://remove_sqlite_rpath.patch file://setup_py_skip_cross_import_check.patch file://add-md5module-support.patch file://host_include_contamination.patch file://fix_for_using_different_libdir.patch file://setuptweaks.patch file://check-if-target-is-64b-not-host.patch file://search_db_h_in_inc_dirs_and_avoid_warning.patch file://avoid_warning_about_tkinter.patch file://avoid_warning_for_sunos_specific_module.patch file://python-2.7.3-berkeley-db-5.3.patch file://python-2.7.3-remove-bsdb-rpath.patch file://builddir.patch file://python-2.7.3-CVE-2012-2135.patch file://gcc-4.8-fix-configure-Wformat.patch file://fix-makefile-for-ptest.patch file://run-ptest file://CVE-2013-4073_py27.patch file://pypirc-secure.patch file://parallel-makeinst-create-bindir.patch file://python-2.7.3-CVE-2013-1752-smtplib-fix.patch file://python-fix-build-error-with-Readline-6.3.patch file://python-2.7.3-CVE-2014-1912.patch file://json-flaw-fix.patch file://posix_close.patch file://remove-BOM-insection-code.patch file://python-2.7.3-CVE-2014-7185.patch file://python2.7.3-nossl3.patch file://04-default-is-optimized.patch file://99-ignore-optimization-flag.patch file://some_configure_fixes.patch;striplevel=0 file://fix_pthread_site.patch;striplevel=0 file://no-ldconfig.patch file://ctypes-error-handling-fix.patch file://setuptweaks-2.patch file://pgettext.patch

What exactly is the resolved path for these patch files?

Python is a programming language.

Learning Python from the Python source is like learning C++ from the GCC source code.

What is it you want to do? Learn Python or create an E2 plugin?

[deepspace221]

I've forked webif and digging a bit into the code as I want to learn and modify it.

I'm following the import statements and would like to read the code from the box and play with it.

I want everything that is being called to have its source code presented, so I can inspect it, modify it, and see what's what.

 

I've source code for webif and enigma2 and I would like also for python to be there.

There are also some py files like the enigma.pyo I didn't find, even though I've cloned the repo.

 

For python, I figured I can copy the lib files from the link, but wasn't sure if they need to be patched in some way first.

 

btw, can I install git directly on the box, or do I have to ftp the files?

 

Thank you for helping me setup and getting started.

The box just runs Linux, so in theory, you can install whatever you want.

However, since the box isn't a very friendly development platform, it's much easier to do the development on a PC.

You can install the same packages on the PC, and inspect the source code from there. All source code is on github.

"enigma" is a module that was automatically generated from the Enigma2 C++ source code. The corresponding ".py" code is of no use to anyone.

It was a hint to add git to the repositories, if possible, as I was looking for it there...

 

I've installed enigma on the pc (a long time ago). 

Currently, I'll need to use vmware, and it would be a hassle... 

I'm mostly reading now and experimenting with only small changes, anyway. 

But when I'll have more to contribute, I'll deferentially do it again.
