IIUC: (IANAL): 1) the kivy folks have figure out how to legally deploy to iOS 2) dynamic vs. static linking makes no difference to the LGPL. But yes, Apple does have its policies, and they can be a pain if you want to use something other than Cocoa to deploy to iOS. My understanding was teh bigger issue was that they don't want interpreters in iOS apps... The interweb tells me that there is a (maybe beta) version of QT for iOS, but pySide is going to be an issue with iOS ban on interpreters. FWIW, I _think_ the Kivy uses Cython to build a compiled version of your program that links (statically) to the python run time, so is not technically running interpreted code. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
