Hi list, I cant't make it working. I use PD 0.48 and 0.50 on another system, I tried to install from Ubuntu/Mint repositories, then with Deken, but still "couldn't create..."
how do you try to load them? run Pd with "-verbose" and see what you get (where the external is searched for). watch the Pd-console for errors. watch the terminal for errors.
i wouldn't trust the deken package to work correctly for a binary with complex dependencies such as python.
using the Debian package "pd-py" (which is what you get when installing from Ubuntu/Mint repositories), the [py] object instantiates just fine:

py/pyext 0.2.2 - python script objects

Python array support enabled

since you seem to be using "Pd 0.48 and Pd-0.50" on Mint, i guess you have compiled Pd yourself and it's either installed into /usr/local/ or not at all. in this case your self-compiled Pd will not automatically search in the paths where the Debian packages installs the external to: so you should add "/usr/lib/pd/extra" to your search-paths.
Is py/pyext still usable?
well, py/pyext as released is Python2.7 only, and Python2.7 has seen EOL a couple of months ago. there has been some work towards making it work with Python3, but nothing has been released yet.
