I've got an amp that can be commanded via rs232. What I would like to do is build that capability into my Kodi box which is already co-located with the amp. Problem is, I cant pip install anything and need the python serial library to script this out. Don't have a ton of experience with this distro but getting the feeling that development on a Libreelec is highly discouraged.
Ultimately I would like to host a small web app that runs python scripts on the back end. Am I wasting my time trying to get this to work on Kodi or is there a reasonably straightforward way?
