Osso context refers to registering the app from DBUS, I don't know how it works for python but for transmission, I did things like:
(I had previously initialized it with:
osso_initialize ("com.transmissionbt.Transmission", VERSION, FALSE, NULL);
)
In python, it's something like:
import osso
osso.Context('com.whatever.whatever','<version>', False)
(Last param is always false - true is depreciated)
Sorry if this has confused you even more, I'm only familiar with C and I can't even code in C.
/* exit the gtk main loop & osso_deinitalize*/
osso_context_t* context = NULL;
context = osso_initialize ("com.transmissionbt.Transmission", VERSION, FALSE, NULL);
osso_deinitialize(context);
osso_initialize ("com.transmissionbt.Transmission", VERSION, FALSE, NULL);
)
In python, it's something like:
import osso
osso.Context('com.whatever.whatever','<version>', False)
(Last param is always false - true is depreciated)

Thanks a lot qwerty12!

I spent 6 months trying to learn C/C++, and nothing. My biggest achievement was a terminal program that computed Heat Index/Wind Chill/Dew Point from the necessary information. Then one day I came across a very informal Python tutorial (it was maybe 6-7 short chapters), spent 30 minutes reading that. The very next day, I wrote my Weather program in Python, the same one it took me 6 months to figure out how to do in C. I immediately began programming in Python. It just makes sense

The problem is that I'm unsure what exactly needs to be done to initialize the help system because all the documentation is in C, and I'm not familiar with C at all (hate it).
This is the documentation I've found:
http://maemo.org/api_refs/4.1/libhil...og-help-enable
http://maemo.org/maemo_release_docum...00000000000000
This is my not-yet-working example:
def help_test_function(self, widget, data=None): dialog = gtk.Dialog("Help!",None,gtk.DIALOG_MODAL) dialog.set_size_request(500, 300) ok_button = dialog.add_button(gtk.STOCK_OK, gtk.RESPONSE_OK) hildonhelp.help_dialog_help_enable(dialog, "osso_quickclip_help", <an "osso.Context" arguement here>) dialog.show_all() dialog.run() dialog.destroy()Problem is, I don't even know what a valid osso.Context arguement is. If I put None there, the dialog will open, but clicking the "?" does nothing.
Any help greatly appreciated.
