My experience of Python is that it isn't portable. It depends heavily on its environment and the author's skill in isolating it from the system is critical. It has started to appear in things like the arduino toolchains for esp32 and nrf52840 . One of those I could only get to work by running the entire arduino IDE inside a Pthyon venv. This is not a good approach.

But I will try pyilper, especially if I can find help when I get stuck. I would think that it would be fixable in the system floppy is talking about, since that's an 'appliance' application where the raspberry pi is dedicated to the job and its common to provide an entire readybuilt filesystem image.

I think this approach is used for Octoprint, a pi-based 3d print spooler, and it's one of the few Python applications I've found to work out of the box. I will be delighted if I find pyilper to be as well built.
