- interesting page! however, going through the sourceforge site for a python runtime install results in 'corrupted install package' via the python2.5 for maemo page, along with uninstallable (install failures of) python applications/libs in the app manager on my OS2007 n800 (some form of 'dependency hell'? didn't think i'd get that on a Deb-based Fink-related system... i've at least learned to click on the 'info' button before attempting an install)

:-(

- oh well... i'll try the sdict clients on some other boxen first...

- definitely some good pointers on other off-line content here! tks to all...

EDIT: fixed the dependency issue (was missing a repo def; HOWEVER, the python2.5 runtime package comes up as CORRUPTED from the repository: "Unable to install. Installation file is corrupted"

a known issue noted here!

EDIT#2: issue resolved! the gnumeric 'plug-ins' package was the cause of my inability to download and then install python2.5 runtime; i now have sdictview running on my os2007 n800 and i like it!
