No, minimalist Pi only has exactly what I need to run it. When I need to

I do have Python installed on it though. I actually have more than one
Raspberry Pi, one of which runs a full install of Gentoo from a stage3
tarball. I've got it set up with DistCC to offload most of the compiling to
my desktops and servers, so it didn't take too long to build Python
natively. Once it was built, I just installed the binary on the minimalist
Pi using the same method as other packages.


The question is, how did you compile python? You ran a job on one of the Pis?

Yes. Just use the --buildpkg switch, copy the resulting .tbz2 from $PKGDIR on the Raspberry Pi to your crossdev host and then use emerge --usepkg to install it on your SD card.
