I'm new to s60 python and I have a question related to launching browser from a python script. I have a mobile minisite in url for example http://www.myminisite.mobi?pid=tyut76786.

Is it possible to create a small python script that launches browser so that it loads my minisite?

And my second question is; is it possible to dynamically create sis file so that it contains the correct url where pid is dynamic user related parameter?

I need to create a prototype that makes our customer easier to access our mobile sites just by clicking an icon on their mobiles.

cheers,

jari

Problem solved but I think I stick to midp 2.0 midlets to do the trick...

[rexwal]

so how did you launch the browser with a url?

[rexwal]

exact command is this
import e32
import os

path = 'z:\\System\\Apps\\Browser\\Browser.app'
apprun = 'z:\\system\\programs\\apprun.exe'

def open(url):
"""Opens the webbrowser to the supplied URL"""
apprun_arg = path + ' "' + url + '"'
e32.start_exe(apprun,apprun_arg, 1)

open("http://www.google.co.uk")

Thanks to the guy that made the browser extension! was great!

Please use code tag ...

import e32
import os

path = 'z:\\System\\Apps\\Browser\\Browser.app'
apprun = 'z:\\system\\programs\\apprun.exe'

def open(url):
	"""Opens the webbrowser to the supplied URL"""
	apprun_arg = path + ' "' + url + '"'
        e32.start_exe(apprun,apprun_arg, 1)

open("http://www.google.co.uk")

Try this also :

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open("http://www.google.co.uk")

webbrowser.py lib module

[jkaperi]

I used Nick Burch's webbrowser.py lib module

Cant find apprun.exe...only have apprun.dll

[rexwal]

are you running it on a phone or from emulator? I don't have an apprun.dll on my 6680 and what phone are you using?

Lunching the browser from python on 3rd generation s60

apprun.exe only exists on earlier symbian versions, it used to be required to start an app file (*.app) - but now (v9 onwards) applications are .exe's instead of .app's

This is how I did it on my Nokia E61 (N80 and E60):

url = '4 www.symbian.com' # 4 means Start/Continue the browser specifying a URL

b = 'BrowserNG.exe' # or with the full path b='z:\\sys\\bin\\BrowserNG.exe[

e32.start_exe(b, ' "%s"' %url, 1) # the space between ' and " seems to be important so don't miss it!

Note: I have only been able to start the browser with the give url when the browser settings->Home pages is set to 'Bookmarks'.

It is also possible to spesify the IAP you want the browser to use:

url = '4 [url]www.symbian.com 5 # The IAP I wanted was number 5

Note: In order select IAP with python, the browser settings->Access point must be set to anything but 'Always ask'.

Hi,

Yes, its possible to create a small python script that launches browser.

Dynamic creation of sis file is a bit complicated, but if you use the source of Py2sis for Symbian phones by Maxim may be you could possible achieve that.

Did anybody succeed in passing url to browser on nokia 6600?
I only get a white page.

[rahulvala]

I think it will create problem in 6600.
AND ONE MORE THINK IS THAT YOU MAY COULD LAUNCH BROWSER BY ONE SCRIPT IN PYTHON..

OK
