Hello everybody, I am the happy yet unsatisfied owner of an ipaq 3760. I am writing a python+pygtk editor optimized for an handheld, and in the future I'd like to write more applications (to-do-list and agenda are on top of my priorities, since the existing ones don't fit my needs).
I was now thinking of a way to improve memory usage. Any python application I launch takes 9-10 MB, and this risks to be a major blocking factor, since the memory I have is only 64 MB. So I'd like to share the memory between programs, sort of an emacs-server mode. I have a vague idea of the way to implement this, with a python-server.py script which would take over programs from a launcher.py script, or maybe a single script which would run into the background, the first time it is launched, and feed the programs to an already running copy, when finding an already running instance. Since I am mainly interested to GUI applications, the resulting threads should cohexist nicely. I was wondering if something similar already existed, to use as-is or to adapt to my needs. I did a little googling, which pointed me to interesting, but rather different projects. Has anybody ever seen or heard something of this kind? Or maybe there is something almost-ready in the amazing python library (as you understand, I am rather new to python), and I missed it? Thanks, Francesco. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
