Re: Python bindings based on Phonegap?
I'm assuming those tweaks are for backend code. A Phonegap binding would still be immensely useful because the frontend HTML5/Javascript code would be reusable across platforms. Not to mention, they could be re-used even in a server environment as long as the backend is rewritten. That's still plenty of code reuse versus the standard PyGTK/PyGame route. I'm curious to know if anyone has written even a subset of the Phonegap bindings. For my application, I'm looking for basic things, mostly having to do with database calls.

Sounds like doing a native Linux port of Phonegap would be a useful addition, with both X11 and Sugar window interfaces. Then Phonegap apps could, perhaps, work on both classic Linux machines and on OLPCs. Hmm, it looks to me like Phonegap isn't a "write once, run everywhere" kind of thing. According to the doc, every platform your app targets needs tweaks in the app, and/or needs a development tools platform for that target. It's more like classic Unix portability: "how to build your app so that you can copy the source to 7 different build environments and get it to build and run on each one."

FWIW This has come up numerous times over the last few years but I see to remember Gecko and hulahoop api compatibility overhead issues stalled most work. Now that we've moved to webkit (only just in the latest dev builds) this is worth revisiting. FWIW2 Browse [1] and (I think) Help [2] are both ported over to webkit, a good place to look to see what the code is like.

Python bindings based on Phonegap?
Does anyone know if there are Python bindings based off the Phonegap API, with similar method calls, etc.? I'm developing an HTML5/Javascript activity that I would like to eventually port to Android and other mobile platforms. Having a set of Phonegap-like Python bindings for Sugar would help considerably. Lester ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
