PYTHON 3
Hi all,
Running OS 6.10.3 on a legacy pro 6.
Works like a charm...
My question is: will there be a update from PYTHON 2.7 to 3.xx ?
One of my apps will go over to version 3 and will not be supported on 2.7 anymore.
Regards

From what I understand, Python2 and Python3 can safely co-exists. So, from SSH apt intall python3 from SSH should install Python3 and leave Python2 alone. Prior to that, it is best to do an apt update to refresh the repository listings. I believe you can also specify a specific version (apt install python3.6) if needed, but multiple versions of Python3.x cannot co-exist.
I have no idea how big the Python3 installation is or where it gets installed. It is best practice on the ReadyNAS to create a directory in /apps to which you move the installation, replacing the original location with a hard link to the new one. That's because /apps is not on the OS partition and that partition does have limited size. That's one of the main things a ReadyNAS-specific app does for you.

Python is not a part of the ReadyNAS OS. I assume, then, that you are asking about Poussin's Python app. I don't believe Poussin has updated any of his Netgear apps in some time. The only way I know to install Python3 on a ReadyNAS is via SSH and apt.

wasn't that what i wrote? :smileywink:
Well, that was what i meant at least.
Will there be any conflicts between the installed 2.7 or will just 3.xx replace it?
Anyone that can help out with some commandline wizardry for installing 3.xx?
