No camera for standalone in Nokia N95

[thecoder]

I am unable to access the camera on Nokia N95 when I run the program as standalone (SIS) application. While the script runs fine from the console and the camera is accessible.

I have imported the appuifw, camera, graphics, e32 modules in the script.

Do I have add some parameters while packaging the script?

Although I am a beginner (and I am in grade school), may I suggest you copy the python main application code (E:\system\apps\Python\Default.py) into your new app, with the same UID and app name (disable the real app by renaming its app folder). Now you have an almost exact copy of the python main app (the only noticeable difference is that it has no icon). Run your camera code on the copied app and see if it works.

Use any of the techniques from the article mentioned below, to find out what exceptions are thrown, when you run your installed application.

Python Debugging Techniques

Also it could be the way you make your SIS file. Do you add capabilities to your command?

Using camera requires the UserEnvironment capability:

ensymble.py py2sis --caps=UserEnvironment myapp.py
