Here you can find my first steps in Python and Kamaelia in order to get dvb-c support for kamaelia

Instalation

fresh installation of mythbuntu 8.10

added: python-setuptools (+ linked packages)

added: python-distutils-extra (+ linked packages)

only add the dependicies of python-pyrex but not python-pyrex it self

I did this by doing a apt-get install -s python-pyrex and then based on that output do a apt-get install of everything execpt python-pyrex

• python-all python-all-dev python-dev python2.4 python2.4-dev python2.4-minimal python2.5-dev

this is because python-dvb3 that is used by Kamaelia is not working with the latest version of python-pyrex. You can download a supported version of python-pyrex from this location:

http://www.kamaelia.org/release/deps/Pyrex-0.9.3.1.tar.gz

You can install this using the following commands:

• wget http://www.kamaelia.org/release/deps/Pyrex-0.9.3.1.tar.gz
• tar -zxf Pyrex-0.9.3.1.tar.gz
• cd Pyrex-0.9.3.1
• sudo python setup.py install

Then you need to get the latest version of python-dvb3. You can get them from the SVN repository of Kamaelia.

• svn co http://kamaelia.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Code/Python/Bindings/python-dvb3
• cd python-dvb3
• sudo python setup.py install

Now you are ready to checkout the latest version of Kamaelia from SVN. For the latest DVB-C support you need to checkout the private_MH_EnhancementsForDVB-C branch. This includes some descriptor fixes for DVB-C and needs to be tested before it will be included into the main trunk version.

• svn checkout http://kamaelia.googlecode.com/svn/branches/private_MH_EnhancementsForDVB-C  kamaelia-svn
• cd kamaelia-svn/kamaelia
• sudo python setup.py install

and you also need to install Axon

• cd
• cd kamaelia-svn/Axon
• sudo python setup.py install

now you have the latest version of Kamaelia with DVB-C support .. happy testing and please report the finding to the Kamaelia mailing list (see www.kamaelia.org for details)
