Can anyone help? In my open source Lifeguide script - http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/find/lifeguide_11_s603rd.zip - sometimes the first press on 'Options' brings up the menu, sometimes the first key...

Here's my very amateur Python code - what horrible sins am I committing in the 'Img' field?

Be gentle with me. The files are here:http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/find/bits.zip - just put the binary...

I've decided to make my Musician app open source/freeware, but running it up (as a simple script) on the current Python for S60 3rd Edition shows an error to do with the Image construct....

I've...

Anyone know a way for a Python application to change the phone's theme? Or am I being too ambitious here?

Steve Litchfield

Actually, although if it's a no-brainer then it would still be handy to have, I tried the game on a modern S60 phone as well and it seems to have no intelligence whatsoever. I think my daughter might...

Hi there. I'm mainly a Python/S60 programmer, but this is a general C++ SDK request. My daughter was after a simple noughts and crosses game for her Nokia 3650 and I spotted that there's an example...

No, surely people would then come back for the right version when they found that the 1st edition port wouldn't work on their device?

I still think it's a counter problem. For starters, the 20,000...

At first I thought the number reflects the number of people who have grabbed Python in order to run our apps? My "Musician" has had 13000 downloads from Handango alone, and every one of these...

Note that including the Python interpreter INSIDE your SIS file is a very bad idea indeed.

The problem is that Python takes ages to install. So your user downloads your little app, which by...

Aha. Actually, you gave me an idea and I tweaked my code slightly. It now works with simply:

img.load(pathtoapp+"\\keyboard.png",callback=handle_redraw)
handle_redraw(())

8-)

Next...

Nice try and well spotted, although exactly the same symptoms happen when I use PNG or JPG for my image instead.

i.e.

pianoback=Image.open(pathtoapp+"\\keyboard.png")
...

Sorry if this is utterly trivial, but I'm still an old-school programmer struggling with Python on a part-time basis!

I'm trying to display a 176 by 144 pixel MBM file with:

OK, solved. I think.

For future reference, I think the problem was the Python system on the N70 was inherited from a S60 v2 FP2 device (the 6630) - re-installing using the proper S60 v2 FP3...

Ah. Now, even more intriguing, it seems that some (but not all) Python apps are now broken on my N70. Preferans (http://amigo12.boom.ru/index-en.html) is also not working, returning to the S60 apps...

Completely agree. If the app's good and at a reasonable price, it'll sell well to legit customers.

As for the hackers and warez-junkies, you'll never get money from they anyway, so let them go...

Hmmm.... I've just popped back to Python after a month doing other things. I've updated Musician to 1.6 (nudgeable metronome) - http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/find/musician.sis - and it works fine on my...

Thanks. It would be nice to know whether it's going to be days, weeks, months or years though, so that we can plan what apps to work on...

Also, now that Flash Lite and Java are established in the...

Is there any progress with this? it would be nice to write for S60 2nd edition in the knowledge that Python will happen for the newer handsets starting to come out too...

Thanks!

Sounds like a simple menu/loop logic error, I've had plenty of those. Why not post your code somewhere, for people to see if they can spot the problem?

Steve

Yes, but I suspect there's similar overhead to playing a WAV file. Anyway, the digitised metronome sound is fine from RAM disk and sounds great in Musician 1.5, if I say so myself 8-)

BTW, the...

I may be a bit of a luddite in all this, but I've found that (almost) completely ignoring the official SDKs works best. You don't really need an IDE for Python development. I edit my code in a good...

Works fine, thanks, the example quoted should tell people all they need to know about getting data back from forms.

If anyone's interested, I've just released Musician 1.5, with configurable...

Thanks, I'll give all that a whirl today!

Steve

Interesting post, although Python gives an error, saying that 'self' is not defined. Also, I don't follow where you got the f[] array numbers from. Can you comment?

Thanks for your help so far!...

Just to reiterate where I am with this. Here's the code I'm currently using:

state = [u'Off', u'On']
svalue = [u'1 bar',u'2 bars', u'3 bars']

data = [(u'Audible...
