Python for S60 1.9.1 released

[GameDude]

No carbide 2.0 winscw support yet though

[dserodio]

I'm a PyS60 newbie and I'm having problems installing it on the emulator.
I followed the instructions on the wiki, except that PyS60 SDK ZIP (Python_1.9.1_SDK_3rdEdFP1.zip) doesn't contain a sdkfiles.zip, it's already unzipped.

When I try to run the Python application on the emulator, it says "Check if the following components are installed: Python Runtime and PIPS Library" and won't launch.

Can someone help me with the installation? Thanks.

You have to install the Open C plugins from here (the 41 MB file) and then install the Python SDK. That should fix it.

Thanks, that was it. I added it to the Wiki.

While porting pygame to 1.9.x, I noticed that the screen did not update as often as it should be. No problem with old 1.4.5 and estlib. The cause of the issue seems to be that floats do not work when passed as a parameter. The screen update works OK on the emulator but not on my E51.

There seems to be a couple of float related bugs open in the bug tracker too.

A simple test:

def test_float(value):
    print 1.9 + value
        
test_float(0.1)
test_float(0.2)
test_float(0.4)
test_float(0.5)
test_float(1.0)

In all, except the last one, the printed value is 1.0. If this would be a formatting issue, the value would be at least 2.0 in all cases. Happens on device, simulator seems to work ok.

Weird. I just tested this on both N95 and 5800 and it works fine. I get the values 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 2.9 as expected. Can you give more info about the test environment? Was this in English locale? Did you try it on devices other than E51?

Quick test done on interpreter, works as expected on N95 8G.

Ah, found out the issue. Looks like a bug only on non-english locale(maybe when the decimal separator is not '.') . We are investigating the same.

I am also a PYS60 newbie.
I've installed 1.91 Python runtime and shell packages on my E66.
When I tryed to run the shell I received the same error message.
"Check if the following components are installed: Python Runtime and PIPS Library"
After uninstall, I've tried to install 1.91 FP2 edition of the runtime and the shell but with no succes, i.e. instalation wouldn't complete.

Any help is appreciated.

hello apach91

welcome to forum nokia python discussion board.

Have you installed the python dependencies prior to installing the runtime. If not first install it and then check out. you can have a look at this thread and will know how to get the dependencies.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I've installed all the dependencies listed in the instalation guide and the emulator works just fine on my PC.

But I am having trouble running PYS60 on my Nokia E66 phone.
If there are any dependencies which I should install on the phone please point me to them.

Thank you,

PS I've received the same error with the 1.92 release

If you've installed PythonForS60_1.9.1_Setup.exe (or 1.9.2) go to Start->All Programs->PythonForS60 1.9.1->PyS60 Dependencies. Install pips_nokia_1_4_SS.sis from there on your E66 and it should work.

hello apach91

first you need to download Pythonfors60_1.9.1.exe from maemo garage then install it. After installing you can have a look at the folder c:\\program files\\Python for S60\\PyS60Dependencies.

Then you need to install those dependencies first in your device and then install your runtime and scriptshell then i guess everything will work fine.

hope you got the procedure now.
