Unable to install dependencies

[engkad]

I was able to get everything up to nodered by following the guide with Raspbian Jessie:

• Used "python2.7" package
• Found from this guide that php works when set to "5", also using raspi-config to enable camera
• The nodered script returns a new script that seems to not support Jessie anymore.

I tried with Buster in case it might work but:

• Adafruit GPIO gives invalid syntax error

Any help getting this to work would be greatly appreciated!

Have tried a few times with fresh installed Jessie and can't seem to get anything working, I've found that you need to install setuptools==44.1.1 as it was the last version supported in python 2.7, but I haven't been able to get Adafruit GPIO working with that, getting this error:

I confirm.
I tried with Buster and get the same adafruit GPIO problem (invalid syntax)
With adafruit Blinka same thing.
Except that everything seems ok.
I'll let you know if I find a workaround.

[engkad]

Sounds good. I wish I knew enough to get this working with more recent libraries but I have no clue.

[BPouet]

I did lots of test with Jessie and I tried multiple version of python (2.7.X) and was not able to make it works.
You really need a very specific old version to make it happen.
With Buster I was able to make everything works except the BMP280.
The last thing I had to do was finding a python 3 that would work with the correct library and ajdust it.
You could try that. Look at the bottom for python with PI

Also, this guy made an more up to date version but more expensive.
