Introduction[edit | edit source]
As found on Python official website, Python is a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more effectively and also Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first-time programmer or you're experienced with other languages.
These sentences got a real confirmation if you have a look at the IEEE Top Programming Languages 2021 ranking. As you can see in the following picture Python reached the Top of the ranking even more than the native C language used since the beginning in Embedded systems programming:
As reported in this article The C/C++ programming languages dominate embedded systems programming, though they have a number of disadvantages. Python, on the other hand, has many strengths that make it a great language for embedded systems.
This application note provides some examples of software packages installation that can be used for building an Industrial IoT Gateway adding python3 libraries to the SBC Lynx platform.
Python on DESK[edit | edit source]
python (i.e. python2) and python3 applications are already present on DESK-MX6UL-L dave-image-devel root file system.
Installing python packages[edit | edit source]
First of all check for the default installed python/pip version in the DESK-MX6UL root file system:
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# python3 --version Python 3.5.5 root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# pip pip pip2 pip2.7 root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# pip --version pip 9.0.3 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7) root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~#
This shows that pip3 is not present in the root file system and should be installed: the simpler way is using python3 itself and the provided python script get-pip.py for version 3.5:
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# python3 get-pip.py
DEPRECATION: Python 3.5 reached the end of its life on September 13th, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 3.5 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 3.5 in January 2021. pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.

After the installation, pip3 is the latest version available for Python3 3.5.5:

easy install[edit | edit source]
Even if easy_install tool has been deprecated, it is a useful tool still present in the typical python distributions.
For the purposes of this Application Note, the tool has been used to install some python packages typically used in an Industrial Gateway equipment
In this example, the following packages are installed using easy3_install (easy_install version for python3): pyserial and pymodbus (for bus communications), requests (HTTP library), schema, ssdp:

DNF[edit | edit source]
A huge list of python packages can be installed in the target using the DNF package manager: the DESK-MX6UL-AN-0003 shows how to install rpm packages in the target from the DAVE's Yocto repository server.
In case of some troubles (which can happens using easy_install or pip), in fact, other packages can be directly installed using dnf from the already built rpm packages built with Yocto.
For example, when non-pure python packages or in case of mismatched versions, it is required to install them from the pre-built images in Yocto, for example flask::

Finally, after the installation steps, it is possible to import the packages:
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# python3 Python 3.5.5 (default, Jul 16 2020, 16:11:13) [GCC 7.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> import os >>> import time >>> import ssl >>> import nmap >>> import scapy >>> import serial >>> import pymodbus >>> import schema >>> import ssdp >>> import requests >>> import flask >>> import bottle >>> import ujson >>> import paho >>>
Virtual environments[edit | edit source]
As explained on python3 12. Virtual Environments and Packages tutorial it is better to "create a virtual environment, a self-contained directory tree that contains a Python installation for a particular version of Python, plus a number of additional packages"
This avoids the problem related to Applications which sometimes need a specific version of a library.
- for example, create the
virtual environmentnamed desk
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# python3 -m venv desk-env root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# which pip3 /usr/bin/pip3 root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~#
- activate the
virtual environment
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# source desk-env/bin/activate (desk-env) root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# which pip3 /home/root/desk-env/bin/pip3 (desk-env) root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# pip3 list DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning. pip (9.0.1) setuptools (28.8.0) You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 21.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command. root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~#
- update pip3 in the the
virtual environment
(desk-env) root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
