Here I go again. Python works OK but I do not see Idle, the default python devel environment. (Idle, yet another poor choice of name leading to futile searches) Idle is actually a python library. I tried apt-get without luck. Any suggestions. Processing, Idle, what's next? pygame! There is a point to these questions. I'm interested in hybrids of video games and the physical 'Internet of things'. I'm currently working on a Lunar Lander run with stepper motors and monofilament. The front end is a Processing app on my Windows laptop connected by usb to an Arduino. Combining everything on the Udoo would be perfect- if the necessary tools are ported. Since other Arm boards have been used, I assume Udoo will work, but I am not a hardcore expert.
If need be there are probably alternative options to Idle. I haven't looked for it (never used it personally). I'm actually installing pygame as we speak... er.. type.
It works! I think I'm missing a library though since it's only accepting "Windows BMP" images instead of my usual PNG. This is the tutorial I used: http://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileUbuntu
so just install it! sudo apt-get install idle - this will get you idle w/ python 2.7 or sudo apt-get install idle3 - will install idle 3 with python 3.2
Yes of course, but this is the reponse I get: ubuntu@imx6-qsdl:~$ sudo apt-get install idle Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package idle is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'idle' has no installation candidate I get the same response for ALL attempts to use 'apt-get'. Could this be a configuration issue?
You did "sudo apt-get update" first, right? That's all I did and then the commands I said above and it loaded right up. No problems at all... You've run the Ubuntu updates that were posted in the Downloads area, correct?
