python-hildon and Fremantle Beta2 SDK

When try to import hildon from my beta2 sdk prompt, I get this:

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~/quickclip-.5/viewer] > python2.5

I have been extremeley busy lately, so maybe I missed something important on different steps that needed to be taken to get python working in the sdk, 'cause it was working fine in beta 1.

Any help would be appreciated... Thanks.

Hi BrentDC,

you can get rid of the dbus error by following this before starting python.

The Xlib error I don't know. I cannot reproduce it. How did you upgrade from beta to beta 2? Perhaps something went wrong there? As the display variable is shown I guess you've started the af-sb-init script?

Cheers Daniel

Re: python-hildon and Fremantle Beta2 SDK

I've not seen that, however if you are doing Python on Fremantle; be aware of:

#4782: osso.Context causes segmentation fault

I've worked around this as follows:

Code:

try:

  import osso

  has_osso = True

  try:

    f = open('/etc/maemo_version', 'r')

    if (f.readline().startswith('5.0')):

      print "*** Disabling OSSO functionality due to Maemo 5 bug #4782"

      has_osso = False

  except:

    pass

except ImportError:

  has_osso = False

That seems to work OK when using Python in the terminal or even a program, but when I prefix my application with run-standalone.sh, I get the same problem.

I think I've always gotten the Xlib error even on Beta 1, and everything has worked fine, so I'm not too concerned about that one.

Thanks for the tip. :)

Strike post #4, everything seems to be working OK now (have no idea what changed, though).
