Ubuntu – Install Python in Wine

pythonwine

I need to install the Windows version Python 2.7.5 32Bit on my Ubuntu Box in Wine (because I test Euler Math Toolbox on Wine, and this cannot use the native Python).

Whatever I do, I get the an error at the end of the installation (see screendump). I tried to install "python.2.7.5.msi" and even "winetricks python26". The error is always the same. Seems the installer does not work.

I did that earlier in another Ubuntu system, and it worked.

Thanks for help!

Here is the output of "winetricks python26"

A friend solved this by installing Wine 1.6, I think.

His commands were:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.6 winetricks
winetricks python26

Maybe the update to Wine 1.6 is the main point. I do not know. After that, you can install Python 27.5. with no problems at all.

Linux and Adobe Digital Editions ePubs

Here are the instructions for using the tools with ePub books and Adobe Digital Editions on Linux under Wine. (Thank you mclien and Fadel!)

download the most recent version of wine from winehq.org (1.3.29 in my case)
properly install Wine (see the Wine site for details)
python 2.7 should already be installed on your system but you may need the following additional python package
```
apt-get install python-tk
```
all programms need to be installed as normal user. The .exe files are installed using ‘wine ’ but .msi files must be installed using ‘wine start ’ we need:

a) Adobe Digital Edition 1.7.2(from: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051.html) (there is a “can’t install ADE” site, where the setup.exe hides)

b) ActivePython-2.7.2.5-win32-x86.msi (from: http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads)

c) Win32OpenSSL_Light-0_9_8r.exe (from: http://www.slproweb.com/)

d) pycrypto-2.3.win32-py2.7.msi (from: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml)
now get and unpack the very latest tools_vX.X (from Apprentice Alf) in the users drive_c of wine (~/.wine/drive_c/)
start ADE with: wine digitaleditions.exe or from the Unity Dash search "Adobe Digital Editions"
register this instance of ADE with your adobeID and close it, open terminal and change to the tools_vX.X dir:
```
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/tools_vX.X/Other_Tools/
```
create the adeptkey.der with: wine python ineptkey.py (only need once!) (key will be here: ~/.wine/drive_c/tools_vX.X/Other_Tools/adeptkey.der)
Use ADE running under Wine to dowload all of your purchased ePub ebooks
install the ineptepub and ineptpdf plugins from the tools as discribed in the readmes.
copy the adeptkey.der into the config dir of calibre (~/.config/calibre in debian/ubuntu). Your ADE books imported to calibre will automatically be freed from DRM.
