ImportError: No module named pycamera

[KevinBoyd]

I installed Python_1.9.7.sis and then PythonScriptShell_1.9.7_3_0.sis on my 5800XM, then I installed an app sis file all in the C:\\ drive. During installation the app gave me a message that its not compatible with the current phone however I still continued with the installation.
I opened the ScriptShell and tried to run the script, however it gives me the error "ImportError: No module named pycamera"
How do I install this module or what else could be the possible cause of this error.

Did you install in memory phone or card ? They need to be in the same drive (and probably your later application).

I installed it to the C drive but with file manager I found that 2 folders name python had been created one on C: drive and one on E: drive.
I ran the file from he and got the error.
Then I copied the files to the c drive python folder but still ran into the same errors.

PyCam module is not provided with default python package. Your have to download it from (download PyCam-lib):
httphttp://research.nokia.com/resear.../download.html
But PyCam lib seems to be compiled for Pys60 1.4.x .If this is the case, then it will not work with Pys60 1.9.x. However, u can give it a try & let us know .

Very weird ... How about to remove everything (interpreter, shell, python apps), to delete both dirs, boot the phone and try again ?

Downloaded and installed it yet the problem persists.
Infact while installing it told me that pycamera already exists!!!
I think I read else where that old extensions don't work with the 1.9.x version, maybe I need to install 1.4.x or something like that. That's strange isn't it?
I wonder if 1.4.x will work on the 5th edition phones?

Ofcourse, Pys60 1.4.x modules doenst work with Pys60 1.9.x .Thus it will not work too.

Pys60 1.4.x works with 5th edition phone but it DOESNT have a full touch screen support (& thus not recommended).

What could be the workaround?
I tried the advice of uninstalling all the 1.9.x apps and runtime, rebooted and installed 1.4.x then all my apps started working.
Now I wonder how to get the apps running on 1.9.x, anyway to recompile them with the new runtime?

I think Pys60 1.4.x and Pys60 1.9.x can co-exists on same phone.

Yes its the only way to get it working on Pys60 1.9.x. To recompile them u need Pys60 1.9.x SDK, Nokia SDK for C++ , carbide c++ IDE & u need a good knowledge of Symbian C++ & Carbide IDE . Wish u luck

Can't I get a readymade pycamera module meant to work with the Pys60 1.9.x.
Has someone already done the hard work, I mean instead of reinventing the wheel?
