pys60 1.9.6 extensions confusion

[jwevandijk]

I have an E61 with a few pys60 applications of my own programming. A.o. a application that accesses both the (supplied) locationacq module and the 3rd party landmarks module:
http://pygpslog.googlecode.com/files/Landmarks_1_0_2_3rd_unsigned.sis

Unfortunately pys60 >1.9.0 does not support the scriptext module for Symbian 3rd initial release (9.1). So I would like to port the landmarks and may be also the locationRequestor:
https://www.iyouit.eu/portal/software/locationrequestor_3rd.sis
To the new pys60 versions. How to????
I get confused by the various options: Carbide, QT-SDK, PyS60-SDK, S60-SDK. Is there somebody who can inform me how to get these extensions work with the new PyS60? Please consider that I have mainly Python and Pascal and almost no C/C++ experience.

I can work on Linux (Ubunto 10.04) with on a VirtualBox Windows XP (with properly working OVI-suite).
Many thanks for helping, Janwillem

To be perfectly frank, learning Symbian C++ and its development tools just for doing the port -- without knowing what the problems might be -- would take many days, perhaps weeks of sleepless nights (Symbian C++ is the most difficult development environment I and many others have ever seen). You should instead find someone who already is skilled with Symbian C++ and also would benefit of the port and get her/him do the port.

Just download the ported version(s):

https://www.iyouit.eu/portal/softwar...uestor_3rd.sis
https://www.iyouit.eu/portal/software/landmarks.sis

We use these routinely on Python 2.0.0, but they should work on 1.9.x

The sources can be found here:

https://www.iyouit.eu/portal/softwar...nrequestor.zip
https://www.iyouit.eu/portal/software/landmarks.zip

This should have been clear from that website (https://www.iyouit.eu/portal/Software.aspx) but someone redeployed an older version of that page, which only lists the 1.4.5 extensions. We'll correct this soon.

PS: veel succes!

Thanks for this. It seems to work.
However, in the exmple from the pdf in locationrequestor.zip I had to change the lines:
if (info[3] == locationrequestor.EDeviceInternal):
and
if (info[3] == locationrequestor.EDeviceExternal):
into the equivalents from test.py:
if ((info[3] == locationrequestor.EDeviceInternal) and ((info[2] & locationrequestor.ETechnologyNetwork) == 0)):
end
if ((info[3] == locationrequestor.EDeviceExternal) and ((info[2] & locationrequestor.ETechnologyNetwork) == 0)):
Otherwise it seems to "think" I have an internal gps while it concerns an E61/Holux M1000 combination.

Remains that it annoys me that I cannot get sthe sdk working on such simple things as just compiling source into dll.
Thankls again,
Janwillem
