Python 2.7 is provided in the "jolla" repository, and can be installed using pkcon:

pkcon install python

Python 3

Python 3.3 is provided in the mer-python3 repository. This can be added using ssu, and then installed using pkcon:

ssu addrepo mer-python3 http://repo.merproject.org/obs/mer-python3/latest_armv7hl/

ssu updaterepos

pkcon refresh mer-python3

pkcon install python3-base

There are currently two options for developing Python Qt 5 apps on Sailfish OS: PyOtherSide and PyQt. PySide does not currently support Qt5.

After adding the mer-python3 repo, the PyOtherSide QML plugin can be installed using pkcon:

pkcon install pyotherside-qml-plugin-python3-qt5

PyQt can be installed by adding the sailfish_libs repo:

ssu addrepo sailfish_libs http://sailfish.openrepos.net/sailfish_lib/personal/main

ssu updaterepos

pkcon refresh sailfish_libs

pkcon install pyqt
