Hi. I'm a newbie to Alpine Linux and to Linux in general. I'm an amateur programmer and mobile and so mostly use my iPad and dowloaded the iSH app which is an x86 Alpine Linux emulator. It comes with the Alpine Linux package manager, and I can download multiple packages that way. Alpine Linux has a wine package, but it doesn't run in the emulator, so I'm trying to see if maybe playonlinux might. I downloaded the general distribution and tried to run the ./playonlinux executable file from there but got an error message about not being able to find python despite having multiple versions of python successfully installed in my Alpine Linux shell. I see on the internet that that error is common and multiple people have indicated that error is because I don't have one certain package or the other. I've added many of the packages people have mentioned on the web, but it still doesn't recognize that I have python installed. I suspect that might be because it depends on a specific package (e.g. wxPython) that I can't download yet from the Alpine LInux package manager since it is still in the testing phase at Alpine Linux. 

It would be helpful if a community member could point me to a list of know dependencies for playonlinux so that I can be sure I've downloaded them and perhaps wait until Alpine linux finishes testing any other additional package dependencies that I might need to successfully run playonlinux.

Thank you.
