(of course, you only do the first two commands once whenever you enter scratchbox)

I just tried it with run-standalone.sh, and still nothing shows up

Ah, forget it. All is working now! (I closed down my scratchbox session, then restarted, and everything was good).

Thanks!

Oh, my bad, you're in Diablo.

I thought you were in the Fremantle Beta.

Fremantle? Haha, I can't even get my programs working in Chinook.

Speaking of which, does anyone know how to run multiple SDK's side-by-side? Fremantle, Diablo, etc.

Tried using the DIABLO_ARMEL target, instead?

If that fails, you can try this convoluted method:

Install X Terminal (can't remember if it's there by default)
Load it up, using Xeyphr, with the application menu
Run from that terminal, using 'python2.5'

Out of curiosity: What does 'test.py' consist of?

It's a scratchbox 1 limitation - you can only have one target in use at one time. Scratchbox 2 is said not to have this problem...

Thanks Qwerty, but I've got it working. test.py is just a empty hilldon window.

If they can't run side-by-side, can you install multiples then just shut down / switch back and forth?

like install one to /scrachbox/diablo/ and another to /scratchbox/fremantle/?

You'd be living on the edge. You would probably want a 2nd sb script in /etc/init.d. But if you're not really careful with bringing them up and down, you could put your disk(s) in a bad state. There's plenty of directory mounting/binding that goes on. It can be done. I've done it manually a few times, but only as a means of transition. If you're really serious, I would install 2 sb's, but I wouldn't install either of them in the default /scratchbox. Probably the best way to avoid catastrophe.

Lastly, if you're just doing Python coding, don't even use sb. Do you use a recent type of Ubuntu? If so, like I said earlier, just:

sudo apt-get install python-hildon
sudo apt-get install python-hildondesktop

When I code on the tablet, I copy my stuff into memory (/tmp) so I do less wear-and-tear on the SD. I just have to remember to save periodically.
