Hi Oscar!

Excellent work! Congratulations!

The following extensions are supported:

calendar (does not show the entries in agenda application)
e32db
graphics ("Image.open" is not supported)
inbox
audio (not supported currently in UIQ21)
socket
telephone
zlib

...

Detailed versions
-----------------

This port is otherwise based on PyS60 version 1.3.18, except "socket" which is
based on PyS60 version 1.3.14 and "appui" which is based on PyS60 version
1.3.11.

Does this mean that we can completely rely on the PyS60 documentation for the modules mentioned?

Keep on the good work

to lfd : It's not OscarBernabeu the PyUIQ author
The project admin is Otsov (the same as for PyS60 !)

Oscar has discovered the project and announce it on the Discussion board !

Thanks lfd, but im not really involved in this project. I only deserve credit as reporter.
Reading the release notes I guess its a port of PyS60, but better visit the project page to get accurate info.

I would like to see an UIQ 2.0 compiled version, to give back to life my old P800.

Thanks to all... and good scripting!

[lfd]

My mistake

Thanks for pointing out

Already posted on NewLC forum and other uiq-related forums?
Here it is a list:

Excellent. I don't have to do my own port after all. Except that I got more UI components working... Well.. not worth the trouble Luckily I didn't waste much time on it.

[cassioli]

Some screenshots or descriptions of PyUIQ capabilities would be cool.

Thank "otsov" for great work.
I'll try it.(Just finished D/L now.)
(Two strains of Python on my SmartPhone,what 's a wonderful... )


After I install(only work when I install it in phone memory)...
PythonForUIQ21.SIS
and
PythonScriptUIQ21.SIS
I click Python Icon.
This is Screenshot from my p910i.

I think this version of python exec file "C:\system\app\python\default.py"
This is some code of default.py
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/164/4...88d22a.jpg?v=0
When I change a little code in default.py, it work fine.
But when I change another .py file name into defult.py,it become error.
(May be it need to adjust pyS60 code to run on pyUIQ)

And no Document file to read.
Any advice will be great...

It's look amazing.But too late(of the night) for me now.
I'll try working around (and make my own default.py) tomorrow.

The results of my testing on Motorola a1000:

Ball.py:
shows main screen (I see a "ball" over a dark background and some text in upper left corner), then suddenly crashes

default.py:
shows some formatted text then crashes

filebrowser.py:
"generic error" dialog, nothing visible in background, crashes

imgviewer.py:
black background, "generic error" dialog, crashes

keyviewer.py
WORKS! Can capture Game B key and joystick; all other keys are not detected.
crashes upon selecting menu

snake.py:
just crashes.


Lines with troubles:
Py_console(console).interactive_loop()
ao_lock.wait()


During installation, program appears as "Python for s60"...
Script do not launch if .SIS are installed on D: .
I found a console "hidden" in system\libs folder, but it does not work: I see something appears on a white background, but suddenly all crashes. Deleting last line (the "Loop" one) prevents crashing... but I just obtain a white text area where I can write, but statement are not interpreted.

There is only one freeware text editor available for a1000, and it can't access \system folders: is it possible to have the python launcher looking in c:\documents\python fors scripts, rather than in c:\system\apps\python ?

Dear All,

Do you have tested it on UIQ3 devices ?
I signed PythonForUIQ3.SIS and PythonScriptUIQ3.SIS, but on my P990 only PythonForUIQ3 installation it's ok. PythonScriptUIQ3 gives me a certificate error.

Looking forward to receive your font patch and all the other patches you have available if possible (would need to get it uploaded to the PyUIQ SF site with Apache v2 license applied. Please see an example post here http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index...5&atid=790648).

Thanks in advance if you decide to contribute your patches.

snake.py:

The main problem is that the "appuifw" module is not supported fully, quite contrary ("Native UI widgets, except "appuifw.Text" and the application menu, are not
supported." - from the release notes). However, you can get most scripts to work at least to some extent with removing the problematic lines. Here is an example "harness" to be used while debugging your scripts:

Hope this helps.

Do you have tested it on UIQ3 devices ?

No, sorry - we don't currently have an UIQ3 device. This release has been tested only in Sony Ericsson P910i.

I signed PythonForUIQ3.SIS and PythonScriptUIQ3.SIS, but on my P990 only PythonForUIQ3 installation it's ok. PythonScriptUIQ3 gives me a certificate error.

Did you use a developer certificate with the full developer capabilities possible (see the details and how to obtain a developer certificate from https://www.symbiansigned.com/)?

Hope this helps.

I used developer certificate with the full developer capabilities from SymbianSigned.
I installed on my P990 PythonForUIQ3 successfully but i have an error message when try to install PythonScriptUIQ3.
