Impossible to find python pip and setuptools

[Sonlis]

Hey everyone,

Discovered Tinycore a few days ago, and I really love it !

I am trying to setup a project and it, but I need pip and setuptools. I couldn't find them, so I searched the internet and this forum and apparently, it should be in python-distribute.tcz, but impossible to find this package from the app browser or tce-load -iw python-distribute. I tried to install everything related to python, but it is still not found. Could you help me locate those tools please ?

Thank you very much !

In the piCore 9.x repo there is a setuptools extension, but there are also the following files in the python extension:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/ensurepip/_bundled/setuptools-28.8.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/ensurepip/_bundled/pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl

If you are using piCore-11, where there are no python tool extensions:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -iw python3.8
sudo python3 -m ensurepip
python3 -m pip install setuptools
python3 -m pip install easy_install

If you don't want to create an extension for your python programs then set up a virtual environment:

Code: [Select]

python3 -m venv /mnt/mmcblk0p2/py

Thank you very much ! How could I miss this directory -.-

I am using python 2, so no uses for python 3, but thanks

So I didn't want to create another topic, as it is still linked to the same project. I need the libatlas libraries, but found on the tinycore extensions repository that it is in "testing" mode. Will it be available in the future ?

[Juanito]

Which repo are you speaking of - I don't see libatlas in the piCore 9.x, 10.x or 11.x repos

[Sonlis]

I forgot to mention, but i'm using piCore 9.x

I found it there, guess I misunderstood something ?  http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/ 

I even tried to get it from there: http://tinycorelinux.net/tcz/src/libatlas, but I can't get the tar to extract the archive as I get this :

tar: invalid magic
tar: short read

Hi Sonlis

tar: invalid magic
tar: short read

Sounds like a corrupted download, try downloading again. I was able to download and unpack it. To unpack it, run:

Code: [Select]

tar xf atlas3.8.3.tar.xz

[Rich]

Hi Sonlis

tar: short read

Is it possible you ran out of storage space?

[Sonlis]

Hi Rich,

I downloaded it again and run tar with your options and it worked. CPU throttling is enabled however, and I have no idea how to turn it off since the explanation on the atlas do not fit for tiny core.

Hi Sonlis
This might be of some interest:
http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/
The  Software  link takes you to much newer versions of  ATLAS  and the  Install  link leads to a manual.

That is a link to the repo for version 3.x of the x86 version of tinycore.

You need:

Stable
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv7/tcz/

Testing
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv6/tcz/
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv7/tcz/

I tried to follow this already, but I couldn't find how to disable CPU throttling on tiny core. Is there any way to do so ?

[Juanito]

You can do so manually by accessing the directory hierarchy under /sys/devices/system/cpu/

Edit: I'm not sure if the cpufrequtils or cpupower cli would be the correct one for the piCore kernel.

[Sonlis]

I used the cpufrequtils.tcz to toggle it off. However I still have problems with the Atlas installation (with the cachesize search apparently), I'll try to solve it myself. In the meantime, may I ask why some extensions are available on previous releases and not on current ones ? Could I not try to import one from a previous release ? Sorry if my question sounds stupid, I am not very acquainted with OS.

EDIT: this command did the trick for the throttling: cpufreq-set -g performance -c 0, just in case someone wonders.
