It seem I ll have a really busy weekend catching up all the suggestions and comment of the past 10 days. Time to reach a real computer (I followed the thread using only the N810 for a while) and Ill put my hand in the flipclock muddy code. Before leave for the xmas/newyear break I tried to use the pybattery status as a modules (and showing a progress bar of the status) and it seem working just fine. Again Ill keep the thing as modular as my poor python skill will allow so there should be no problem testing all the different technics proposed on the forum. The thread obviously grown over my aspectative and I can feel the pressure . It is amazing how a 'simple' application trigged so many great 'spinoff' arguments. I m flattered and before return to work I just want to say thank you to all people who spent time to look at the thing.
Since is 'real'work in progress (Im still not sure if the clock and the alarm works , and this for a clock/alarm program is probably bad...) I thinked that the app didnt deserve a debianizing (and since I write using shortcuts, tricks, weirdo technics is a pain to try to packagin it everytime (I still have no clue and since now qwerty12 made up all the packagings, and make realize that is not a so simple task. I ll try to release the long promised plain naked optimized version and ask to qwerty12 to do the job and ask to the maemo folks to promote to extra and give to everyone on the thread the credits they deserve and have the satisfaction to see the thing finally in the wild.
Peace and love, peace and love
