Do you have example code for talking to the N900's location services (liblocation)?

No. So far, the Maemo specific modules section is completely blank.

A great idea! I develop with PyQt since 2004 and am very interested in joining your wave. I do not have an account yet, my google id is .... I could not send you any PM here...

I sent you an email to verify your account. If you get it you can remove your account name on the previous mail message.

Edit:
I submitted your email address to Google for inclusion to Google Wave. You should get your account in a day or two. Let me know when you do.

This looks awesome. The website won't let me send you a pm, maybe because I haven't posted anything yet. Maybe this will open the gates.

I already have a wave account.

Either post your account here, or comment on a few other threads until you can send PMs. I will be out the rest of the afternoon, but I will check my PMs tonight.

Hi rm42, just had a quick scan through the Wave. Found it very informative, and think that I shall start using Python instead of going straight in at the deep end (C++ & Qt4.6!). Will the Maemo/N900 specific modules allow for all the fancy Maemo stuff, like portrait mode/finger scrolling/etc.

Can you use Python to make nice fancy GUIs too? (Sorry if this is a stupid question, I suppose a better question would be, can Python be used to make fully fledged N900 applications?)

This is what I am looking for too. I want to learn to program and this N900 device has given me new reason to start. I have 6 googlewave invites left. Let me know if you run out. I will PM my address soon. I also suggest an online wiki someplace.

Update: I can't PM either

You need to just make a few comments on this forums before you can PM. I think it is about 5 or 6, I am not sure. Once you do, send me one and I will be glad to add you to the wave. However, I will be out most of the day so I hurry up or wait a little while until I come back. ;) (Or try to see if someone already on the wave can add you.)

Sorry, I missed your post until now. I have not yet had a chance to study the maemo specific modules, but there is no reason for them not to be able to control just about anything on the N900. And yes, GUI development and full application development is completely possible in Python.

I hope to eventually update the wave with the sections that deal with those aspects. Until then, what is there should keep you entertained enough. ;)
