SIS shutsdown immediately(3rd ED)

[kashifrazzaqui]

Hi Folks,
I am new to PyS60 and Symbian. I wrote a script which works fine as .py through the interpreter then i made a sis using ensymble (ensymble py2sis my_app.py) and installed it. When I run the installed app app starts and closes immediately without showing error message - please advise..

Another question - If I make a python app for commercial use - I will need to merge the Python interpreter in the same sis file - does this mean that all my apps will be atleast 500+ KB in size because that is the size of the interpreter?

PS: I am using pyS60 - 3rd Ed.

Thanks.

Hi kashifrazzaqui and welcome to the Python Dibo,

It seems that the application faces some error and thus quits immediately.
To know what the error is you need to record it to a text file, and modify your code a bit.

def main():
    try:
        Your main code goes here.
    except:
        cla, exc, trbk = sys.exc_info()
        excName = cla.__name__
        try:
            excArgs = exc.__dict__["args"]
        except KeyError:
            excArgs = "<no args>"
        excTb = traceback.format_tb(trbk, 5)
        errorString = repr(excName) + '-' + repr(excArgs) + '-' + repr(excTb) + '\n'
        print errorString
        appuifw.note(u'Application errors, see log file for more information', "error")
        file = open(u'C:\\Log.txt','a')
        file.write(errorString)
        file.close()
        raise

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Here when you check the Log (C:\\Log.txt) file after the application quits you will be able to find the error it face before quit.

Yes, a python application always needs python on the device to work, so you will have to use the ensymble to merge it with your application file.And because of this the files size will obiviously increase.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Pankaj, Will try and report the results. Are you in India?

This exception harness doesnt work - app still shuts down instantly. It leaves a message saying

App. closed:Appname

Also it doesnt write a log file.

Any help will be appreciated
