Python for S60 1.3.18 is now available for download at SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=154155

This release is for both 2nd and 3rd edition devices. As mentioned before, we no longer actively support 1st edition, but if someone is interested in making 1st edition builds of PyS60, then just get the source and go ahead.

This release contains mostly bug fixes, but there are a lot of those. The only new feature is improved access point selection support that now works also on 2nd edition devices.

Consult the release notes for more details: http://sourceforge.net/project/shown...roup_id=154155
This release is the same as 1.3.11 in that ***you need to install both the PythonforS60 _and_ the PythonScriptShell package to get the same functionality as before on 2nd edition. ***

This is still a work in progress so bug reports, patches and feature requests are welcomed in the usual places:

Bugs: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?grou...55&atid=790646
Patches: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?grou...55&atid=790648
Feature requests:http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?grou...55&atid=790649

When filing bugs, include the device you used, its firmware version (you can see this by entering *#0000# in the idle screen), the PyS60 version and a minimal test case (if applicable).

Stay tuned for the next release, and happy hacking!

Hello all ,

Thanks for the new version

Great all is here

[GameDude]

Sweet , but...

On emulator it works fine, but on device( E61 and N73 ) I get Menu: Feature not supported( -5 ) when compiling with S60 3rd FP1.

On E61 Python icon disappeared, no such problems with N73.

Somebody had similar problems with FP1:
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=100429

I reverted my build environment back to 9.1 sdk ( not MR ) and after recompile it works like a charm.

So... stay away from FP1, it seems.

hello everybody ,

I have made a source code comparison between 1.3.17 and 1.3.18
I found other undocumented features than those described in
So there are my findings :

1. in camera module there's an undocumented function finder_on
   camera.finder_on() # Return whether the view finder is on
2. there functions name changes in sysinfo module
   sysinfo.signal changed to sysinfo.signal_bars
   sysinfo.signal_strength changed to sysinfo.signal_dbm
   for compatibility reason with old script : sysinfo.signal remains in API
3. imp.load_dynamic for 3rd edition have now disappear but is it possible now to put PyS60 package in memory card instead of phone memory

I noted that PyS60 source code is also in SVN tree but it seems that it's only a very old version 1.3.1 why ???

[jplauril]

The change to sysinfo is actually documented in the 1.3.18 API Reference, we just missed it in the release notes.

imp.load_dynamic code has been redundant for a while, but we only now got around to cleaning the remnants of it.

The reason why the SVN has an old version is that my intention was to upload all versions there for viewing purposes, but I ran into the problem that reconstructing a "version history" from just the snapshots would take a lot of manual work that I don't have time for right now.

If anyone knows of a tool that can turn a set of .zip source snapshots into something resembling a SVN version history with reasonable effort, drop me a note. I would like to have the code browseable in the SF SVN, but I don't want to spend days committing every file manually.

And before someone asks "couldn't you simply upload your internal SVN database directly?" -- no, we couldn't. First of all, we don't use SVN internally and even if we did, we can only release code that has been reviewed and thus releasing every commit is not possible at present.

Hi, how can I download the .SIS files ? So far I've downloaded the ZIP files. When I click the link for SIS, it just displays white screen with broken characters. Anyone may share the SIS files please.

Hi bojes and welcome on board

What are you trying to do? Install Python on your phone? Please explain a bit more what the problem is.

hi, advice needed:
I can't install the PyS60 on my E70 phone. The install goes well, but when the phone is finalizing the installation it says "varmennevirhe, ota yhteys sovelluksen toimittajaan". Am I missing something? I have tried both PythonForS60_1_3_18_3rdEd_unsigned_freedevcert.SIS and selfsigned version, both give the same error?

Yes, LFD. I want to download the SIS files from sourceforge page. But those links seem broken. CMIIW. So, anyone can give me the working links? Thanks.

Bojes,

Links are not broken to me. http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=154155

Try with a different mirror if you have difficulties.

teijo.saalasti,
Check that you have in your device "Software installation" setting: "all"
if you have finnish setting it will found propably somewhere:
työkalut->sovell.hallinta->Valinnat->Asetukset->Ohjelman asennus

And selfsigned versions are the correct ones.

Currently I am develping pys60 things with E65 -phone, which like the E70 asks for select the accesspoint for every connection (incoming and outcoming) which is a very annoying bug. So I was very happy about the accesspoint in this latest version. It made using, testing and developing fun again...

But after having used if for a few weeks I became confident that the accesspoint select made the software very instable - loosing connection when moving between cells and crashing the program when accesspoint is lost.

One special problem is that all connections are shown in the selection list - also saved wlan's that are not awailable. Selecting one of those will crash you immediately.

Has anyone else noticed new problems after using accesspoint selection?

[teijo.saalasti]

Thanks, that helped. Now I get further!
