I checked out the official Anki forum (well, Google discussion group to be precise), and found the following short thread: http://groups.google.com/group/ankis...ed6e4e2c95a7d6. It says "it will most probably be able to run anki out of the box from the
command line, if you install python2.5-qt-* and download/unpack the
anki source, but new packages for maemo 5 will need to be made for
easy installation from the application manager."

So yes, installing Python first would be required, but apparently it ought to work after that. It'd be great if you could try it

edit:
wow I think you converted me to anki
Glad to be of service ^^

I googled around for the possibility of converting an Anki deck to Mnemosyne, but couldn't really find any info on it. I remember I did read somewhere that Anki was supposed to be able to import Mnemosyne files though, which should mean that it's convertable either way - perhaps just that no one has implemented it yet. I'm uploading my Kanji deck Apparently my deck is too big to be uploaded as an attachment, but if you send me your email then I'll send it that way (it's 2Mb as a zip) so that you'll have it at your disposal if you feel like having a go, maybe arono could upload his Mnemosyne deck to see if anything could be done
