i want to know how to run a python application, as my phone is switched on.That is it must start automatically, as Symbian OS loading is completed.
SOMEBODY HELP ME !!!!!

[y.a.k]

AFAIK it it currently impossible using Python only. You have to use some third party app that can start applications upon power up.

Such as this one:
http://shop.psiloc.com/en/Applicatio...iloc+AutoStart

can we use any other language to autostart application...tell me plz.

[y.a.k]

Yes, you can write your app using C++, there are apropriate APIs (Start-on-Boot). However, Symbian C++ programming is a bit harder than PyS60 .

Refer to Symbian C++ forum for more informations:

@y.a.k
I'm also searching for a way to autostart a stand alone python-sis. So far I tried psiloc and firestarter.
None of both got my application running. The application is starting but seems to end immediately after say half a second.

Does anyone know the reason for that behavior and is there ANY way to get a python-sis autostart?

Novis,

A "standalone" Python application is nothing more than a little C++ application that start the Python interpreter with the given __default.py__ script. So there shouldn't be any differences with other C++ applications.

Does your "standalone" application work if you run it from the app menu? I've had that behavior with standalone application when PyS60 was installed on the memory card. Re-installing everything on C: drive fixed the problem.

lfd,
you're right lfd. Re-installing everything on C: drive fixed the problem.
I can now autostart my application.

So thx a lot for your fast comment
