Hello!

Now that python-hildon has got support for portrait mode, I've added portrait mode support and auto-rotation to gPodder for Maemo 5, and in order to make my life easier, I've come up with a nice object that you can throw into your own code and that will take care of auto-rotation:

http://repo.or.cz/w/gpodder.git?a=bl...tl/portrait.py

The only thing you (might) need to do is to connect your windows to the configure-event signal and check the ratio of the width and height to determine if you need to relayout your window. For some windows (i.e. a window with just a treeview) you don't need to do anything

Usage: Save the code as "portrait.py" or find some nice place in the module structure of you project, then use something like the following, and you're done:

Just make sure your windows are real hildon.StackableWindow, and everything should work out of the box.
