--- Comment #2 from 80230co@pm.me --- Pythonizer runs from the Start Menu shortcut in Wine on Linux Mint 21.1. You launch winetricks in the terminal, follow the steps below. To install the 32 bit prefix for wine, perform the following BEFORE you install wine.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg sudo apt-get update -y;sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
If you are running something other than Ubuntu Jammy or derivatives, change the distro in the sources line to the one you need.
Launch winetricks in the terminal, Select the default wineprefix, change settings, winxp. Launch winecfg from within winetricks gui.
Navigate to your Python folder or mounted iso/setup.exe from within winecfg, select Windows 95 for the environment, and click okay.
Navigate to your Monty Python setup.exe file, right click and Open with Wine Windows Program Loader, and it should install.
When it asks you if you would like to open Pythonizer, select no, and instead navigate to the Pythonizer link in Wine submenu of your Start Menu, and it shoud launch.
CAVEAT: None of the links in Pythonizer will actually WORK in the manner designed. They will execute, but for instance, the screensaver won't launch, nor will the sounds work in NoisyBits. I am opening a new bug report for that.
