Thanks to everyone who came out tonight. It was great to see so many
new and newish faces. I think it was our second biggest meeting ever.

I will be writing this up in a blog post, but until then here are my
notes for installing BotBrew, Python, setuptools, and Pip on Android:

BotBrew http://botbrew.inportb.com/

Install Python2.7 via BotBrew
Run Terminal
Remount /system as RW
http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/mount-filesystem-read-write.html

Create Python dir
cd /sdcard
mkdir Python
cd Python

Great meeting ... perfect timing with the notes. Just finished rooting my Nexus S and getting BotBrew working. Had a little trouble with getting the repo script to run ... would just say "something went wrong".  Running the command below got it working.

HI there
I am kind of stuck with botbrew and OPKG,
It cant be moved to SDCARD (Bot Brew Anise).
Also created a Symbolink link but does not work out that way ..
is there any way to use OPKG manually to solve this problems ?
I am fully Rooted and also have basic knowledge of windows and Linux scripts ..

Sorry, I never really used BotBrew Anise, and haven't touched BotBrew
Basil in months. I don't even have it installed currently. Your best
bet for support is the BotBrew IRC channel:

Absolutely brilliant advice. Running stock (rooted) ICS and botbrew anise, these instructions worked flawlessly.
