The Curse of Python (Or How Searx Turned Out To Be A Terrible Mess)

Authors: Aoi K. <koizumi.aoi@kyoko-project.wer.ee>

Date: 18 Sep, 2022

It all began, more or less when I asked people on Spyware about what

other service I could host on KyokoNet, after freeing up a good ~9

gigabytes and giving them to /usr/local.

So I ended up trying out Searx and all that jazz of metasearch engines,

but the installation didn't last more than a day before throwing http error code

500 and the thing just refused to work, literally.

Now yesterday or something I've tried to make it work with uwsgi and virtualenv,

guess what, it only worked once, and in subsequent tries it just outright refused

to work on KyokoNet, for no good reason at all.

Just like anything involving node.js is practically banned on KyokoNet, the same

rule now applies to Python.
