Are you a Python developer, feeling envious of your C++-coding buddies cranking out N900 Qt applications with all those nice
Qt Mobility APIs
? No reason for envy any longer: The PyMaemo/PySide team is proud to present PySide Mobility: Python bindings for the Qt Mobility APIs! Combining the power of Python and the Nokia-sponsored
PySide
Qt bindings with the capabilities of Qt Mobility, you'll be spewing out impressive apps for N900 like never before!
Available APIs
In this first release for Maemo 5, we have bindings available for the following APIs:
Bearer Management
Contacts
Location
Messaging
System Information
Sensors
Versit
How to install
The PySide Mobility packages are already available in the extras-devel repository. If you're a developer and want to install the full set of bindings, install the pyside-qt4 and pyside-mobility metapackages.
Documentation
PySide Mobility API reference documentation is available here:
http://www.pyside.org/docs/pyside-mobility
If you are interested in more generic PySide documentation, peruse this page:
http://www.pyside.org/documentation/
If you are a classic PyQt developer, the biggest difference between 'classic' PyQt and PySide is that PySide only supports the more modern, so called PyQt API 2. Other than that (and replacing the PyQt4 import statements with PySide), you are likely to be good to go. See PySide PSEP 101 for more information on the API differences:
http://www.pyside.org/docs/pseps/psep-0101.html
Examples
Several example scripts are available at
http://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/pyside-examples
.
If you prefer a tarball, you can download that from gitorious as well:
http://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/pysid...tarball/master
Support & Reporting bugs
Although we have tested the bindings to the best of our ability, we cannot expect them to be free of issues altogether. Best ways to contact the PySide team are the #pyside @ FreeNode IRC channel and the
pyside mailing list
.
If you find any issues you suspect are bugs either in PySide or the PySide Mobility bindings, we strongly encourage you to file them at our
Bugzilla
.
Last but not the least: Enjoy!
