Hello All,

I am trying to create a Python S60 extension for 3rd edition phones. I have created and signed the SIS file and it is installed without any trouble.

But when I try to import the DLL using imp.load_dynamic, I get the following error
SymbianError: [Errno -46] KErrPermissionDenied

I have used the Py_InitModule function call with correct function name and the import is successful in the SDK. It would seem that the Python shell does not have load/read rights to the separately installed DLL.

I also tried to set the UID of the DLL identical to the PyS60 package. This results in "Update Failed" during installation.

Must I recompile the entire PyS60 package with my extension? Can separate installation ever work?

I am using PyS60 1.3.12 on a S60 3.0 phone. Any pointers are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Nikhil

Hi nikhil_vaj,

You must use unprotected UID for your module (0xA0000000-0xAFFFFFFF)

You must also set the capabilities in your .mmp file as:

CAPABILITY      NetworkServices LocalServices ReadUserData WriteUserData UserEnvironment

Thanks LFD!

I guess I am still not too comfortable with platform security

Thanks again!
