Python3 and Libraries

[traben]

Hello,

I just started using Tiny core in my computer. I just want to work on python3. I installed python 3.4.3 from "Apps" but I need python 3.8 for some libraries. How can I update python and install libraries? And if there is a platform like pycharm, jupyter, spyder etc. in tiny core I want to learn it. Because now I write code on terminal.

Thank you.

What version of tinycore are you using and for what architecture?

Core/CorePure64-11.x have python3.6 and piCore/piCore64-12.x have python3.8.

My version is 6.4, when I try to update is, it calls "sda appears to have a partition already mounted! Check if correct device, if so, umount it and then run installer again.". How can I update?

Hi traben
You will need to reinstall. When I update to a newer version, I do a fresh install on a fresh partition so I don't destroy my
currently working install. That way I can refer to my previous install as to which extensions I had installed and any files
I had tweaked.

Only the ARM version currently has version 3.8. The Intel versions (32 and 64 bit) are at version 3.6.

If it won't be a silly question how can I reinstall? Because I tried to format with usb, umount device from xfe, install another linux system and install tiny core again, but always when I try to TC_install, always same error : "sda appears to have a partition already mounted! Check if correct device, if so, umount it and then run installer again." and when I restart computer version is 6.4. ( Usb format is update version but after restart computer version is again 6.4)

Hi traben
It sounds like maybe you told it to install to a device instead of a partition. If you don't have a free partition, you will
need to boot from another device to resize one or more partitions on your device to make room.  gparted  is a good
tool for this job. Once you have an empty partition, you can even have  gparted  format it for you.

Thank you for your answer. Finally I install 11.1 and python 3.6. Lastly, Do you know Python IDE in tiny core plus?

If you use the apps gui and search on python3.6 or py3.6 you'll see a list of the python extensions available.
