This can be resolved by one of the following methods-
Option 1. Load [url=hhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_UQmrFG4zuedWtIQV9IbXZJUkk]python-2.6-lxmlnumpy-cut-i486.pet[/url] - This Pet includes all the parts of Python required to run the extensions. It is made by cutting down the Python from Slacko's devx. To install, download and run.
-This method works on Slacko 5.3.1, Slacko 5.6, Puppy 5.29 3-headed-dog and Polarpup 005.
---
Option 2. Load the appropriate developer devx.sfs - Many devx packages include Python 2.6 and the required libraries (though I couldn't understand exactly where lxml, numpy are derived from, maybe an include?).
-This works for Slacko 5.3.1 and Wary, but NOT Slacko 5.6 or Polarpup 005. Thanks to vtpup for finding this out.

Whats in the python-2.6-lxmlnumpy-cut-i486.pet -
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/python2.6
/usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0
/usr/lib/python2.6/ *.pyc and *.so only
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/lxml/ (2.2.8) *.pyc and *.so only
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/ (1.4.1) *.pyc and *.so only

A great feature in Inkscape is to be able to select vectors that are fully covered by ones above. This involves alt-clicking - which is already taken (by default) puppy and in JWM can't be reconfigured A work around is to use OpenBox window manager and config its mouse bindings see-

EDIT link to .pet now workingI can not get any of Inkscape's extensions to work in Puppy. If I run Puppy the terminal it reveals the following error...
For example,Can't Spawn!!! spawn returns: Failed to execute child process "" (No such file or directory)
if I select 'Extensions > Render > Barcode', enter number and click apply.
I quick message box saying 'Barcode is processing' pops up and vanishes, nothing is done in inkscape, the above message is return in the terminal.
This happens with every extension I have tried. I've tried a few versions of 0.47 and 0.48 to the same effect (using Puppy 5.28). Any suggestions or help appreciated....
