can i use any module i want in pys60?

[yanhua]

hi everyone. I'm just a beginner of PyS60. I'm wondering if it is possible to use every module of python library on the s60 environment. Say, I need to use DOM and 4suite,which is a third party lib. Is it the same situation to develop python project on s60 as on a PC?

Hello yanhua

See actually python for s60 can be compared with normal course programming on the PC.But its not all the same.And talking about modules--You can use the inbuilt modules directly by importing them..Moreover there are new modules coming up which you need to install on ur device befor using them.

Hope that helps...

copy minidom.py to C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_MIDP_SDK_FP1\PythonForS60_SDK_3rdEd\epoc32\winscw\c\resource

but when i try to import minidom,the cosole says 'no module named minidom'

Hey yanhua,

U should install the libraries on the phone.

@yanhua

1st you have to transfer the lib file (.py) in your device.Python and Pythonshell must be installed on ur device before hand.Now when u open this lib file the file opens with python and asks you if u want to install it as a python scrips or a python lib module...You got to choose the latter.Then its installed...

Hope u got it,
