i need to make use of the aosocketnativenew.pyd

how can i import it to my program?

when I run the application that import aosocketnativenew, I got an error

do I put aosocketnativenew.pyd in some directory? -OR- i need to build a .SIS file?

thanks

Which phone do you have? There does not seem to be a version of aosocketnativenew for 3rd Edition phones.

Hi chiuming07,

Could you please be more accurate with the error code you get.

Are you using a 2nd or 3rd edition platform devices?

For a 2nd edition device you need to put binaries and python libraries in c:\system\Libs or e:\system\Libs

For a 3rd edition device binary modules have to be put in c:\sys\bin\ and python libraries in c:\resource\.

Now for 3rd edition platform you can't just import a binary with "import aosocketnativenew" like it used to be with second edition platform.

To have the same behavior in both 2nd and 3rd edition platforms, we use now 2 files, the binary file (starting with "_" so here _aosocketnativenew.pyd) and and Python files to launch the binary.

Like I mentioned before you put the binary in !:\system\Libs or c:\sys\bin\. Then you create a file which has the name you want for your library so here aosocketnativenew.py and inside you put the content below:

import e32

if e32.s60_version_info>=(3,0):
    import imp
    _aosocketnativenew= imp.load_dynamic('_aosocketnativenew', 'c:\\sys\\bin\\_aosocketnativenew.pyd')
    del imp 

else:
    import _aosocketnativenew

del e32#remove unnecessary names from namespace
from _aosocketnativenew import *
del _aosocketnativenew

Like this you always have 2 files for both editions just the directories change.

That should solve your problem I think.

Except that 3rd Edition phones are unable to load DLLs compiled for older versions of Symbian. The file format has changed between Symbian pre-v9 and later.

I looked around and could not find a a version of asocketnativenew for 3rd Edition.

Absolutely

If no 3rd edition module, can we have the source somewhere? I could try to port it.

You can found source code from aosocketnativenew in the PDIS site.
They provide 2nd and 2nd FP2 source code. Perhaps could you port it to 3rd ?
Albert Huang made a new version of aosocketnativenew flushing the device cache but source changes are not available

Has anyone made further progress on the pdis/aosocket port? My feeble attempts at this have been unsuccessful. Is this still an active issue?

[federico2929]

Has anybody had luck in this?

Don't know if you still need it (or if anybody is watching) but I've made a version for 3rd edition. Note: it is unsigned. You should sign it using the same certificate and capabilities that you used for Python itself.

You can download the SIS file here:

Welcome to Python forum

It's great news that you have ported the aosocketnativenew.pyd to 3rd But could you publish the source code (if possible !) ?
But you forget to announce the nice locationrequestor.pyd which implements the location API on the same page

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome message

Sure, I'll put the sources there, may take a little time as the update rate of that site isn't very high. But if you're in a hurry, I put the sources on a temporary location.


Please note that these sources are NOT mine, I only made these minimal changes:

dllentry.cpp: The E32Dll entry point is obsolete for 3rd edition (EKA2):

#ifndef EKA2
GLDEF_C TInt E32Dll(TDllReason)
	{
	return KErrNone;
	}
#endif

moduleinit.cpp: Python extension loading changed, so first lines of initaosocketnativenew should be:

	#ifdef EKA2
    // 3rd edition, use _aosocketnativenew for separate python loader
	PyObject* module = Py_InitModule(
		"_aosocketnativenew", // module name
		const_cast<PyMethodDef*>(&apn_methods[0]));
	#else
	// 2nd edition, no loader
	PyObject* module = Py_InitModule(
		"aosocketnativenew", // module name
		const_cast<PyMethodDef*>(&apn_methods[0]));
	#endif

asocketnativenew.py: a Python 'loader' which is very standard:

import e32

if e32.s60_version_info>=(3,0):
    import imp
    _aosocketnativenew=imp.load_dynamic('_aosocketnativenew', 'c:\\sys\\bin\\_aosocketnativenew.pyd')
    
else:
    import _aosocketnativenew

del e32, imp #remove unnecessary names from namespace
from _aosocketnativenew import *
del _aosocketnativenew

And presto! Oh, I also changed the .pkg file of course. Note that there's an absolute path to the Symbian SDK (I'm lazy, sorry).

Hello Mwibbels

Could you please change your profile for receiving email from Forum Nokia ? I can't contact you
We have a problem with the other library : LocationRequestor It would be a great library only if it works
But other people try to use it but they can't
Could you please correct the source code ?
Thanks

Hmm. I received this message ok. But I'll change my profile. What seems to be the problem with the sources? (we're actively using this library ...)

I got the aosocket_unsigned.sis file from http://www.iyouit.eu/portal/software/ and signed it, but I still need a version of pdis.sis for 3rd edition.

Apps that use aosocket need pdis, or at least when I run a script that has:

    import aosocketnativenew
    from aosocket.symbian.bt_device_discoverer import *

It gets an Import error "No module named pdis.lib.logging"

Can a PDIS.SIS be built for 3rd edition using ensymble? If so, how?

[mwibbels]

The thing is: we only ported aosocket, since we use only a small portion of it that does not require pdis. We did not port pdis and I've got no idea whether or not that would be easy.

Sorry that I can't be of any more help.
