Hi,

trying hard to learn some basics of python I went to the following page
http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/docu...les/index.html
downloaded gpsbt python example and try hard to make it running.

I was very lucky to download python-gpsbt once in my life
and can't do nothing more.
I can't find gpsbt repositories again.




Developer of python-gpsbt
kindly responded with the following remarks:

Hi Darius,

You can take a look at PyGPSbt[1] webpage. There is a small description and
an example on how to use it. First of all you need to pair your devices then
libgpsbt will automatically connect to it.

Regards,
Luciano

Hi,

I can not install Python-GPSbt or Python-abook from Application manager in a fresh install of Gregale, the packages are not in the list of all available applications. The repositories I have are:
http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified mistral user
http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/non-certified mistral user
http://repository.maemo.org gregale free non-free
http://repository.maemo.org/extras gregale free non-free

I used these to install python2.5-runtime and ipython. What did I miss here?

Cheers,
Teemu

Summary: Python-GPSbt and Python-abook released
Project: Python for Maemo

We have just released Python-GPSbt and Python-abook, providing access to GPS and address book data. Both modules are available through Application Manager as separate packages. We will collect all user opinions about them and possibly these packages will be included as part of a new PyMaemo release.

GeoClue bindings will be provided as soon as it gets a bit more mature. In fact its possible to access its API using D-Bus calls.

Finally, thanks to Eduardo Rocha for suggestions on how to improve py-gpsbt.

My request to the developer
and to developers mailing list

Hi again,

downloaded python2.5-gpsbt package
but on install the following packages are missing
libgpsbt >=0.1
libgpsbtmgr >=0.1
My OS is OS2006 not OS2006/HE
Do I really have to upgrade my OS
or is there any chance to download missing packages/libraries and install your py gpsbt finally ?
Is yes, what rep is right ?

Thanks again.

What I should I do next to have above the example, python script running ?

lost another day and got the following link:

Good news
Usage in 770

It is possible to use the geotagger also in 770 with some restrictions. Because the UI for BT pairing of GPS devices is not found in 770, the pairing must be initiated manually ("gps_saver -p" command can be used for this), also the osso-gpsd, libgpsmgr and libgpsbt packages are missing in 770 so you would need to install them manually.

Example:..

Bad news:

I have not really tested this setup.
