Wonderful news with the python beta for 3rd ed!

So I got my E61 and now I got Python on it! So now I'm ready to do some real stuff with it. But the first thing I noticed is that it's a pita to write/upload/run for every test and it would be nice to test it on my local machine first. So I downloaded pys60-compat from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60-compat/ , python-2.2.2 and wxPython and tried to setup everthing but it turnes out that --prefix options etc are not honored by wxPyhton so it got really messy and I gave up for today and thought maybe I should ask here.

So are there anyone here using Linux to develop on the S60? How have you setup things? What tools do you use etc...

Thanks in advance!

i still write and upload. i just found out that putting the script in E:/Phyton is enough to be executed via the shell. i have a N91 and i do it on linux. beside that i have also set up a windoze system for c++ and the emulator. to load it via the shell seems also the only way to run a script. otherwise they aren'r recoginzed as execs.
but thanks for the tip i will try the emulation too.

update: i just installed pys60-compat and wxPython. installation on gentoo is pretty easy since wxPython is in portage. pys60-compat has to be copied to a PYTHONPATH and you are ready to go. the use of pys60-compat seems to be a bit limited, currently. the audio-module for example isn't supported, but for testing the gui (listboxes, menus) it is allready usefull.

Works for me too, although only for python2.4

This is what you need to do for ubuntu:
download pys60-compat-0.4.tgz
sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6 python-wxtools wx2.6-i18n

then in the script:
if 'linux2' == sys.platform:
sys.path.append('....../s60-compat')

and everything is fine.

I find it very usefull as copying it to my E70 and executing it there is more time consuming.
This way I catch immediately syntax errors and any GUI error.

sorry, made a mistake
