Python2.6 on AppleTV (1) Crystalbuntu image #13

I can't find how to install python 2.6 on the famous (?) pin78a or Sam image (from xbmc.org forums) for Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on Apple TV 1. This runs xbmc live on this ubuntu, but the latest available python is 2.5.2

I had been using AirPlayer great until I updated not knowing the issue of requiring python2.6 and now airplayer does not work (iOS devices do not see my atv1 anymore).

Figured it out -- had to add new apt-get source for python2.6 perhaps others out there will benefit if thsi is mentioned in the install file?

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list using vi or other editor

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/python-dev/ppa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/python-dev/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

Import the pub key

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys D81367B9

Install python2.6

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python2.6
