Testing a PyQt/PySide application on maemo5
 

Hi,

I'm the developper of Papywizard:

http://www.papywizard.org

a python/Qt based application to drive motorized panoheads.

The main targets of this application are the Nokia internet tablets. I first developed it using PyGTK, on the 770, and then switched to PyQt. This dropped the support for the 770, but it still works on N8x0 devices. And it now runs on other systems (MacOS, even if I need someone to package it on this platform).

I also tested Papywizard on PySide, and it works fine (with a minor adjustement, because of a missing compatibility in the uic module). My goal is to use PySide on the N900, as I think it will become the offical python/Qt binding on this plateform.

As I don't own a N900, I need people to make some tests on this platform, on both PyQt and PySide (until it is stable). Is someone interested to help me?

Thanks!

Shoot ! My PyQt-fu is stronger than my PySide-fu but can handle both.

Cool :)

I don't know what exactly need to be installed on the N900, but here is the complete procedure to install on N8x0:

Don't try to install Papywizard v2.0, which is not really stable; latest dev release is better.

I think there will be some little problems, like dependencies issues; please try to force the installation, at least to see if it runs. Then, I will adjust things to avoid these problems.

Once it runs fine against PyQt, I will package a version againbst PySide.

Thanks,

Well, it (papywizard_2.1.19-1_all.deb) installs without any dependency issue whatsoever, but...

Ok. Someone on the Autopano forum also got this problem. Are there some known issue about this problem with PyQt on N900?

Do you have a working version of PySide installed on your N900?

Re: Testing a PyQt/PySide application on maemo5
 

AFAIK No known issues (segfaults usually meaning a c++ object ownership error in the code). My PySide is currently borked on the PR1.2 due to PR1.2 issues, but if you have a deb to try, we can do that, too.

i do! :D
Can try it later tonight! - laptop is busy copying 4 very old hard disks at the moment :D - so once it's free, and i'm free, sounds like a cool app to test :D

Re: Testing a PyQt/PySide application on maemo5
 

Yes, a segfault is never good news with python!

For a PySide test, you can try this package:

http://www.papywizard.org/static/dow...1.11-1_all.deb

This is not the latest release, but as soon as it works, I package a new version.

Where does this log come from?
