[maemo-developers] Re: Python and ZSI on maemo

[From: daniel wilms]

Hi,

I've installed ZSI using the installation with the setup.py.

Follow these steps:

1) Install with apt-get python2.5-runtime, python2.5-distutils and python2.5-setuptools

2) Run  'python2.5 setup.py install'

and that's it.

Cheers Daniel
