Any Python apps, for N9?
 

I'm trying to get my head around developing apps. using Python/QML, but with a severe lack of information or tutorials out there, regarding programming specifically to the N9, it is baffling me.
I've attempted to create some small apps., but either they don't work as expected, or do not launch.

So, is any one aware of any apps., for the N9, that have been developed in Python?
I'm asking as looking over the source code would be a great aid in helping me to understand how it all comes together.

Thanks.

the wazapp source might be usefull ?? hope......

i suggest you to learn Qt. it embedded in system and have better performance than python. And it not harder than python. Maybe just in a bit ;)

Re: Any Python apps, for N9?
 

Performance is not that much worse. Better to have applications than not. So please no cliches. How much memory and clock speed?. The qml Side is identical, the pyside straight forward.
There is a repository with examples somewhere, github?! I'll post the link when I get home.

gpodder would be a prominent example of Python on the N9, and in the Nokia Store.

Cheers for the replies I'll take a look at the apps. mentioned.

@SamGan, thanks but it's not Python tutorials I'm after, I already have a fair bit of knowledge in the language, I'm trying to learn how to interact with QML using Python, and vice versa.

Re: Any Python apps, for N9?
 

Here is how I interact between Python and QML in FeedingIt. Not sure it's the best way to do it, but you can see in there how the Controller object is declared with its various slots that can be called from QML in this file:

gpodder is probably be a much better example (but might be more complicated, due to its size).

I think thp has done a great pyside+qml guide.

Great!. I've had a quick glance over the SC and it seems to be exactly what I need to get me going, thanks.

That looks like a great read, cheers for the link.

Re: Any Python apps, for N9?
 

Can I ask, how exactly did you go about coding and testing the app.?

AFAIK, there is no SDK which supports Python, and so using the N9 simulator is not an option. The only option I see is SSH'ing to the device and coding away without the use of an IDE, and running the code nativley on it, which seems a bit cumbersome.

Is this the method you used?

Re: Any Python apps, for N9?
 

Have a look at the Harmattan organisation on github - https://github.com/harmattan . There are a few python/qml apps there.

Re: Any Python apps, for N9?
 

Pyside already supports QtSimulator. Get Pyside sources from github and build them against SDK simulator libs. After that, create a virtualenv environment an install Pyside modules.on it. This approach works for me

Re: Any Python apps, for N9?
 

I installed pyside and a version of the Qt Components (see this blog ) on my computer (running Ubuntu, not sure about other platforms), so I could test directly on the desktop (it doesn't look quite the same, but testing the interaction between QML and python was easy enough this way).

Later, I moved the project into the Qt SDK (mainly to create the part that uses the synchronization framework which needs to be in C++), and added a few lines in the .proj file to deploy the python files. So I let the Qt SDK create the package and deploy to the device.

Check out Mieru, modRana & RePho in my Github repository. They are all written in Python and use QML. :)

Re: Any Python apps, for N9?
 

In case you would like to have some examples, I wrote several apps in Python+QML for the N9.
See http://www.ruinelli.ch/harmattan or http://store.ovi.com/publisher/George%20Ruinelli for a list.
For some of them I also already provided the source on my website or the OBS build server.

As for the testing, I either start them directly on my device (copy down through SSH and start in SSH shell), or since I work under Linux, I just can start the directly on my PC.
