Hi all, I've a nokia n70 at hand, and I'm trying to improve IMDbPY on Symbian.
There are many things to do, so I'm here asking for help. In the CVS [1] there's a new version, with some glitches fixed (I've added a "_compat" module, to implement compatibility for "strange" environment, like the Symbian OS). On the mobile page [2] you'll find the GUI written by Tero Saarni and some extra modules needed to run IMDbPY on Symbian. I've tryied it using the "local" data access system (I've copied the db files on a MMC-card), and it works - more or less. What is left to do: 1. test the "mobile", "httpThin" and "http" data access system; I'll try to do some tests, but my data fees are sooo high! :-/ 2. compile the cutils C module; I still don't have a working SDK/emulator environment working. It should be compiled for Symbian 2nd edition (FP3 or previous) and 3rd edition. I _think_ it's easy, but I'm really new to Symbian development. Otherwise the "local" access system is way too slow to be useful. 3. improve the GUI: search for names and characters, more details, maybe follow "link" (Person/Movie/Character instances). Save preferences, so that the data access system should not be hard-coded. 4. build installers: one for the IMDbPY package, the other for the GUI. 5. support for "sql" would be very cool, but I assume that porting SQLObject to Symbian is almost impossible, not to mention the fact that sqlite (the only db I would consider, on sych a system) doesn't have a Symbian version. :-/ If you're interested or you know someone who is playing with Python on Symbian, please let me know on this list. PS: I'm aware of bugs on the Python replacements for the C functions in the cutils module; I plan to work on it in the next weeks. +++ [1] http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/?page=download#cvs [2] http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/?page=mobile -- Davide Alberani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://erlug.linux.it/~da/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
