There are 2 python application i know of you may be interesting having a look at: BpBible and Rapier. http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/ http://hurdygurdy.dyndns.org/maemosword/ I started Rapier for the maemo platform. It uses pygtk. Something that i should have done is to use the glade library to build the interface. If it s available for OpenMoko, do think about it before starting. Rapier sources are available via svn: https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=200 I also put some notes about python and sword usage here: http://hurdygurdy.dyndns.org/maemosword/python-sword-howto/ If i remember correctly, since Sword 1.5.10, the main Makefile contain entry to make the python module simply with a "make pythonswig" and "make python_make", so try out first with the main Makefile before following the instruction i posted in the small "howto". I think BpBible use wx instead of gtk, but is definitively worth a look too. Most of what i learnt about python and Sword comes from BpBile and the help from Ben :) Let us know how your project is going ! _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
