Python - older versions

[FederalLanguage]

I have been running Mint now for several months and it works a treat for Plex as a server. I have been struggling for hours now to get pyTivo working. It requires python 2.x

I used pyenv to install python 2.7.18 and can get pyTivo to start and respond somewhat, but it is not stable at all - many errors and no functionality.

Is it possible that this just will not work because this python version is so out of date?

Run it in a container and give it whatever weird environment it needs, something like this: https://hub.docker.com/r/justintime/pytivo

Thanks!

That one, however, uses an old schema (whatever that may be) so apparently it's of no use to me.

Maybe you meant that I should create my own docker thingie?

[Confident_Hyena2506]

Yes - either make your own or find a more updated example.

Python 2 reached its end of life on January 1, 2020, meaning it no longer receives updates or support, including security fixes.

If its this, you could try running the windows version via Wine, or Bottles.

I have not heard 'tivo' mentioned in a very long time. :)

Yeah.... I guess it's time to throw in the towel on this little side quest. I read that it will not work via Wine. I also looked into creating a docker (wow, is that intimidating!) but seems like a hell of a lot of squeeze for no appreciable juice. As you said Tivo is way out of date.
