Can I use symbian generic .lib with PyS60?

[gloria799]

Hi folks,

I am trying to move into pyS60 world!

Since, I already have made Generic Symbian OS static library, I want to use this library in pyS60. Can I call the functions in this library at pyS60?

p.s. Do you have any recommended documents/webpage about starting pyS60?

Thank you!

I assume you know the Python programming language, so moving to PyS60 should be easy. I definitely recommend the documentation that comes with PyS60, the Wiki here on Forum Nokia (where you can find great articles that help you learn), this site and if you are really interested in learning a lot, this book

I think you need to create a wrapped extension module for it (i.e. turn your static library a python extension).

See chapter "9.2 Extending Python for S60" in

PythonForS60_1_4_2_doc.pdf

@gloria799:

Yes vivainio is right!

You will need to build a exetension for it to use the functions in PyS60.

if you want to get started with writing a wrapper, i suggest the uikludges example on the wiki and/or maybe you want to try with this one, see if it works for you: this thread
