python send sms problem

[mycs]

Hi!

In the application I am trying to make the number add 1 automatically,like this first recipient is 13805710571,the second recipient is 13805710572, the third recipient is 13805710573, and so on...

my codes :

import appuifw
import messaging
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')
txt = "text!"
number = "13805710571"
messaging.sms_send(number,txt,'UCS2')

how to amend the codes to achieve my aim, please help me!

Well, you could do number=unicode(int(number)+1) or something similar.

In principle this will work -

import appuifw
import messaging
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')
txt = "text!"
number = "13805710570"
i = 1
while (i<10):
	num = str(int(number)+i)
	messaging.sms_send(number,txt,'UCS2')

This would send your messages to all numbers from 13805710571 to 13805710579

However, Python on Symbian doesn't seem to handle numbers more than 9 digits long. So, a simpler option would be -

import appuifw
import messaging
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')
txt = "text!"
number = "1380571057"
i = 1
while (i<10):
	num = number+str(i)
	messaging.sms_send(number,txt,'UCS2')

Let me know if it works..

Thanks for you help, the works code is very simple,Just like you said “Python on Symbian doesn't seem to handle numbers more than 9 digits long”，we can change int to long!

import appuifw
import messaging
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')
txt = "text!"
number = "13805710570"
i = 1
while (i<10):
	num = str(long(number)+i)
	messaging.sms_send(number,txt,'UCS2')

Yes, you could use 'long'. I guess depending on the requirement, size of number, etc. you could choose any one of the methods.

When I had attempted something similar, I remember, the size of int causing me a lot of grief - I just didn't know why the program failed!
