help install pyd module

[mindstien]

i want to use akntextutils.pyd module in my 2nd edition sdk, i have put this file in lib folder as well as in python script folder.

but while using command "from akntextutils import wrap_text_to_array" it show error 'not found',

i have tried restarting emulator also....

any idea how to install and use this module... ?

Try adding this:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append(mypath)

Where mypath should be something like 'C:\Python\', or wherever your .pyd file is located. I can't guarantee this will work as I haven't tried it except in the Python IDLE environment.

Hi mindstien,
I've had the same problem of using akntextutils on S60 2nd Ed. FP3 and Simo on stackoverflow helped me out at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...tallation-help. When you get the *.pyd as recommended by Simo, copy that file to C:\Symbian\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\Epoc32\winscw\c\system\libs

About usage of that module, I tried this snippet at http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/833#related. However, it didn't run without modification. So I did a modification and below is the code which I modified to.

from akntextutils import wrap_text_to_array
import e32, appuifw

appuifw.app.title = u"Text Wrapper"
appuifw.app.body = canvas = appuifw.Canvas()

long_str = u"iLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore..."
lines = wrap_text_to_array(long_str, 'dense', 176)

#canvas.clear()
x, y = 2, 0
for line in lines:
	y += 15
	canvas.text((x, y), line, font='dense')
   
app_lock=e32.Ao_lock()
app_lock.wait()
