Surely the time module would be best here. I'll have a look at it after breakfast.

It IS git, so you could always run a diff on the revision that worked versus this one.

The Py2Deb packaging article in the wiki is pretty straight forward, but I can send you my build script from aptly if you like.

ossipena great stuff, I'm always impressed by prototypes coming from community :)

would need some custom glyphs over the keyboard for the ABC etc

problem with that is it changes for different regions, so you may be better having a back template and generating the alphabet ontop of those at runtime and using them

anyone want to offer some glyphs for ossi to help it look a little nicer?

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

Looks great!

If you are having problems with getting the numbers and whatnot when using ctypes I'm using it in fMMS: http://gitorious.org/fmms/fmms/blobs...acts.py#line46

Hope this helps! :)

(Btw, I realise this is a bit silly request, but could you change your function names and similar to english? This would make the code a bit easier to read for the non-finns ;))

@aspitides, only problem is that I cleaned the code only that I can upload first version to git and don't have to shame my code so much. :D

but I'll see today if I can debug the sms sending problem.

and thanks a lot for offering help with timer. I've tried couple things without success.

I'll try py2deb but if it doesn't work I'll ask for the script.

@lcuk excellent idea, seems pretty easy to implement after more important things are functioning properly.

@ossi, we are discussing a little in #maemo irc :)
drop in anytime

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

hehe I changed many function names, variable names etc to english, so work is in progress. should have thought of that before writing first functions ;)

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

yeah got sms sending function working again! now I am gathering motivation to look through frals good example.

and some answers:
-no T9 unless someone patches it up to the app
-no idea how one could use built-in kb. so I spent two evenings with python&gtk and got the UI to the state it is now.
-main point is quick&dirty solution that you can type simple sms with when you have only one hand available.
-can evolve to about anything, depends how much ideas and help I get.

e: just pushed version that has working sms sending. now I must go and clean the kitchen in order to keep my gf happy so she will let me code @ weekends also in the future :)

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

Perhaps the quit button could be replaced by backspace? The user already has the x in the top-right corner.

I'm playing with timing right now to see if I can come up with something sane.

PS - The code looks much cleaner/readible than the initial version. Thanks. Would you be insulted if I made the indentation more uniform trhoughout the entire script?

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

the indentation was quilty for killing sms sending so I won't be touching it for a while once I got it into condition that works :)

but it still is my intention to make it not to jump randomly eventually

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

Ossipena, I've cloned your repo and have timeout working. It is now possilbe to write "cat". Currently, the timeout is set to 1 second, but you can increase or decrease it as you wish.

The only quirk seems to be that the first character doesn't accept mulitple presses. That is, typing 2 twice results in 'aa' instead of 'b'.
