LibreELEC 10.0.2 and Python 2.7

debarr · March 10, 2022 at 6:18 PM

Just asking a question I have searched the Wiki and forum but not found a specific answer for. Apologies in advance if I have missed it.

I am trying to use the app supplied by PureVPN (https://s3.amazonaws.com/purevpn-dialer…nitor-1.8.0.zip) wich uses Python 2.7 on LibreELEC 10.0.2. I know that Python 2 is no longer supported, is very old, and I have contacted PureVPN to tell them their app is very old and need updating...however...

I am asking on the off chance, is there a way to install that dependancy without rolling back to an older version or breaking things horribly? Thanks in advance.

No chance. However all VPN add-ons are just some form of wrapper around the openvpn binary so you can always create a start/stop script and systemd .service file to start/stop the service.
