Side loading old version of python.

dragonflyuk · February 19, 2024 at 3:56 PM

I updated libreelec to the latest version, however this has updated python to 3.11, which messed up some SSL code that I run on a cron script. (The site used outdated cyphers)

In due course I will have to rewrite some of the code, but in the meantime, I was wondering if it was possible to sideload an old version of python, then I can call that in my python wrapper, without effecting Kodi etc.

Anybody any ideas?

There's no concept of sideloading in LE. You can either self-build an LE image with the Python bump reverted, or rework the SSL bits around newer Python, or route requests through some kind of reverse proxy so that LE > Proxy uses modern TLS and Proxy > Site uses older ciphers.

Okay, guess I'm diving pack into the code then.
