Question

I have python application I would like to port on RUTX12.
Among other things it uses ModemManager to control the modems. For this I need python binding for GObject which is not available as package in OpenWrt.

I tried to build PyGObject using pip3 on the running system but it failed as it depends on cairo library.

Is it possible to build PyGObject using the SDK? Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi,

Here you can see how to install Python if it need. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/python

Also, using the SDK, you can build any package for installation on the router. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/single.package https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/packages
