Here is a summary of how I got it working in scratchbox: Set up scratchbox and get it working per the tutorial Create a file named .gtkrc-2.0 in your scratchbox home directory with the following line: include '/usr/share/themes/default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc' Install the python2.5 package from the maemo repository (right now only the ARM packages will install) Download the wxPython 2.8.6.0 source code archive and extract it create a bld directory inside of the directory cd into it ../configure --without-opengl --disable-debug --enable-sound --with-gtk --enable-unicode make make install cd into the wxPython subdirectory python2.5 setup.py build_ext --inplace UNICODE=1 BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 BUILD_STC=0 BUILD_GIZMOS=0 python2.5 setup.py install UNICODE=1 BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 BUILD_STC=0 BUILD_GIZMOS=0 cd into /samples/simple run-standalone.sh python2.5 ./simple.py A lot of the demos will run too, though with a lot of them you get a message about a _stc python module that is missing. I haven't looked into it. wxPython 2.8.6.0 seems to run okay.

Here is a summary of how I got it working in scratchbox:

Set up scratchbox and get it working per the tutorial
Create a file named .gtkrc-2.0 in your scratchbox home directory with the following line:
include ‘/usr/share/themes/default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc’

Install the python2.5 package from the maemo repository (right now only the ARM packages will install)
Download the wxPython 2.8.6.0 source code archive and extract it
create a bld directory inside of the directory
cd into it

../configure –without-opengl –disable-debug –enable-sound –with-gtk –enable-unicode
make
make install

cd into the wxPython subdirectory
python2.5 setup.py build_ext –inplace UNICODE=1 BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 BUILD_STC=0 BUILD_GIZMOS=0
python2.5 setup.py install UNICODE=1 BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 BUILD_STC=0 BUILD_GIZMOS=0

cd into
/samples/simple
run-standalone.sh python2.5 ./simple.py

A lot of the demos will run too, though with a lot of them you get a message about a _stc python module that is missing. I haven’t looked into it.

It worked awfully anyway. I recommend you to try <a href="http://maemo.org/downloads/product/claws-mail" rel="nofollow">claws-mail</a> iinstead. I started to develop it, but I never finished it.

Does it include an offline imap and is it available somewhere ? Thanks Hi,

I’ve just read that you ve developped an email client in PyGTK. Does it include an offline imap and is it available somewhere ?

Thanks

But even only PyGTK is consuming a lot of memory. For example, I was developing a email client with PyGTK, and it ran perfectly on my computer inside the scratchbox. But when I tried it on my Nokia 770 it was slow as you can't imagine. Yes, I am afraid you are right. But even only PyGTK is consuming a lot of memory.

Part of this is due to the extra layer of wxWidgets on top of GTK, in additon to the Python bindings. For this reason, I had expected that PyGTK may be the only usable option for Python GUI development on the 770. I'm so glad you've proved me wrong!

I only compiled <a href="http://www.wxwidgets.org" rel="nofollow">wxWidgets</a> and <a href="http://www.wxpython.org" rel="nofollow">wxPython</a> on Maemo, but without changes over the original code. The look and feel is not yet hildon-like, so I will try to improve the look and feel and then I will add it to the Maemo wiki. Not yet.

Have you already noted it somewhere in the Maemo Wiki? Perhaps in a How to, or in the list of ported applications. Fine thing! Have you already noted it somewhere in the Maemo Wiki?
