Hey all. I'd really like to see if I can get the python game Childsplay working on my N900 for my kids (latest source here). I'm guessing that it might be an issue with the Fremantle/Maemo 5 python version, 2.5, 'cause it works fine on my Ubuntu desktop which has 2.6.

Code:
$ ./bin/childsplay
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./bin/childsplay", line 29, in <module>
   import childsplay_sp.utils as utils
ImportError: No module named childsplay_sp.utils
I hope that there's a work-around, 'cause I understand that upgrading Python on the N900 isn't an option right now.

Any help would be appreciated. TX

You have to install the python module.
As root from within the childsplay folder:
python setup install.py

You may have to install additional python modules.
(I had to install python-sqlalchemy)
Maybe someone can make a proper deb-file.
But the UI needs some changes to be useable on maemo5
(I couldn't exit the program the normal way and had to kill it)

regards
Nicolai

I appreciate you reading the INSTALL file for me Nicholai (now I feel really lazy) .

I also had to install python-numpy, but even with that I see what you mean. The arrow keys don't work, in fact all keyboard input seems borked. Too bad, I was hoping it would be an easy install.

Thanks for checking it out for me.
