e32.set_home_time() fails on real device

[dehlerm]

When I try to run a script with e32.set_home_time() from the python script shell (1.4.1) on a 3rd edition device it stops with the error message:

SymbianError:[Errno -46]
KErrPermissionDenied

No problems in emulator.

The code:

import e32
import time

time = time.time()
time -= 10.0

e32.set_home_time(time)

On 3rd edition you need WriteDeviceData capability which is only available with dev cert !
You certainly use a self signed pythonshell ...

Thanks for helping with this issue, Cyke!

It works with a DevCert. (Built a SIS with ensymble and 'my' DevCert.)

Although I read some stuff about SymbianSigned and capabilities I have the feeling that I didn't understand the whole stuff really ;-).

Is there an overview about this topics available?
- Which PyS60 functionality requires which capability.
- Which capability requires which signing type/option.

There's a PyS60_3rdEd_README.txt in the PyS60 source distribution pys60-1.4.1_src.zip. It has a brief (but a bit outdated) overview of required capabilities for each PyS60 extension module and some information about the signing procedure in general.
