Yes, I've tried typing long path names that point into the Storage Card and I get nothing but the failed error -1. Too bad windows doesn't have the same concept as a Linux link. It seems that if I put my *.exe files into the windows directory, then :!start will find it.

Re: [PythonCE] Trying to Code Python ON a Pocket PC Phone
Ugggh. retraction here. I can indeed call python.exe from my storage card
using the long path convention. What I meant to say is that I haven't yet
figured out how to execute a script sitting on my storage card. Thank you
for pointing it out that executables do indeed work with the full path
statement. Unfortunately for me, the whole point of this whole sordid
exercise is to get the script to run..
That old gotcha about the lack of a true console and commands such as
raw_input or input not being supported within the pythonce port has
reared its ugly head again. And as you once wrote on this site, this is
probably why commands such as python.exe -i or the -m or -c option don't
work.
Still there is hope that this exercise might yet work. I found a little
utility that will start python.exe and then when I pass along the name of
the python script that I wish to run, it runs that script. Its a binary
that installs on the pda.
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/samples/Run_arm.exe run_arm.exeSo if
the author figured out how to do that with his proggie, then I most
assuredly should be able to do it within Vim.
Apart from having the desire to have the commands raw_input and
python.exe -i {script} working, I would love to have my pocket Vim
compiled with the python option. In that way, I could write my Vim macros
in python! Alas I know jack about how to get visual studio to compile
anything. I still have eVC3 which I used to use for little Visual Basic
proggies on my HPC 2000 but that was way back when I was a Microsoft bigot.
Since all of my programming efforts are simply part time and personal,
today, if it doesn't say Open Source with the word Python along side of
it, I ain't very interested.
Anyways, the pocket Vim exercise looks mucho promising. Now if I could
just get pysqlite with sqlite3 and wxpythonce and bwidgets to bleepin
work...

I
wish there was a path equivalent for Windows mobile so that I could
put
\Storage Card\Program Files\Python24 in the path statement and just type
:!start python.exe
Have you tried this?:
:!start \Storage Card\Program Files\Python24\python.exe
(I haven't)

Re: [PythonCE] Trying to Code Python ON a Pocket PC Phone
The only way that I know how to edit a *.py file rather than execute it is to change the registry entry that *.py points to in your registry. Normally .py calls the pyfile entry and it is within pyfile where one types the command to launch python24.exe. I simply point *.py to my Vim Open Start command which is within the registry entry vimfile and Vim launches instead. If you use idle as your editor, I suppose you could get it to do the same thing. If you are not familiar with modifying your registry to do this, don't worry. There are utilities that can do this for you. Now by doing this, you realize that you can no longer execute *.py files when you double click on them if you have a windows mobile 5.0 device. Since there is no console for Windows mobile 5.0, there is no way to launch a *.py without double clicking on it. If you have a windows mobile 2003, then you can download a console programme that will permit you to launch your *.py files from a dos like command line. So why do this personally? Well its only when I am doing a lot of editiing and I get weary of launching Vim and then opening up the appropriate *.py file. Without this trick, its a lot of keystrokes to open up a *.py file via Vim because Vim always starts its file open search in the default directory within main storage and all of my files are buried deep down a directory tree on my Storage Card. I can shell out of Vim on my desktop to run programmes that I am editing within Vim without exiting Vim. I haven't tried that on my pda because windows mobile 5.0 doesn't have a console so I naturally assume that I'm screwed. Because in most cases, I am screwed on Windows Mobile 5.0 I can't get things like OpenSSH working because this version of mobile windoze lacks this console. Plus there are many other terrible side effects to this missing console feature such as not having any raw_inout capabilities from my python24ce interpreter. Sigh David P.
