Q: G3 Capability

Hi,

I'm a beginner in Arduino / UNO R3.

I'm looking to download Python and probably programmes relating / associated with Raspberry Pi.

Would an Apple G3 / 400 installed OSX4.11 Tiger, plus OS9.22 running in dual boot or 'classic' mode, support these programmes?

I don't really want to use my MacBook Pro so i bought a G3 as the brains behind any robotic projects.

Thanks

"Users of Mac OS X 10.3 and later can install a universal binary (suitable for both PowerPC and Intel machines) from python-2.5-macosx.dmg . Download to the desktop and open the .dmg file to install."

I don't see anything about using it with Classic.

Thank you.
Really appreciate your help.

It's all still very new using Python language and Arduino / UNO R3 so i'm bound to get lost.
I'm new at coding but knowing i can use the G3 really is a big plus.

Thank you.

There is a Python for Mac OS 9, however, the original developer's website is now defunct.

If you are resourceful, you may find this file floating somewhere on the internet:
