Hello list members. Recently our project (Java based) grew into the mobile devices range. However the devices had a serious flaw (for us): the Windows CE operating system. For some time we were able to develop based in the Pocket IE available on the device and use an AJAX+Server-Side approach to do our work.
Recently we hit some use cases where this approach would not work, or would need serious development in order to provide the needed interaction requirements. We could not find a Java VM to suit our needs, and development using Microsoft's development frame is a No-No for us. That is why I undertook the challenge to evaluate Python based development. Here I took my first blow... The files on the SourceForge site did not install on the device. The device is: http://www.mobilecompia.co.kr/en/sub01/sub01_1.php It features Windows CE 5.0 on an Intel XScale PXA processor with a number of crucial features for our application (WLAN, WWAN, Barcode scanner). Since we are working with Linux/BSD workstations I was unable to try the Active Sync method, and was forced to download the CAB files, however when trying to install the application I get a 'Setup Failed' message: > The application cannot run on this device type. > Please install the application specific to this device type. This is with both CAB files: PythonCE-25-20061219.PPC2003_ARM.CAB and PythonCE.WM.CAB I tried also the 'Pocket PC Python' from http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/PocketPCPython/Overview That WORKS! But since it's Python 2.2 the GUI toolkits refuse to work (no annotations?). Can you please advise further? _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
