Hi all,
I have never programmed in Python a day in my life. My group is working
on developing an application on the Dell Axim hand held that has a
tight deadline. I have heard that Python is particularly advantageous
in rapid prototyping and deployment. I would like to lean this way if I
can. Does anyone know if I can run Python on the Dell Axim handheld. It
runs Windows CE. If so, what all is needed to make this possible.
Thanks
Nick../ 3 1300

Someone did a WinCE port a while back, but I don't think it's actively
used much. The approach might be reasonable if you're an expert with
some time on your hands, but for a newcomer with an onrushing
deadline, you may be better off using whatever you're already using
(VB or whatever), and keeping Python in mind for some future project.

I agree that it is much less active than Python on other platforms, and in
some areas it lags behind the PC, e.g. in GUI toolkits. However, if you want
to try it go here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonce

NSBasic (which has a CE version) is pretty nice for PalmOS. Making
applications is pretty straightforward if you don't need to access serial
ports and stuff like that. Nice IDE too.

Hello there,
Are there any out-of-the box handhelds that run Linux/Apache/MYSQL and
PHP? Does Redhat, Suse, or Gentoo support any handhelds?
I know the Zaurus comes close, but I've heard people have problems
running LAMP applications on it.
It would be cool to be able to run any LAMP application on sourceforge
on a handheld computer.

I've released Familiar v0.7.2. Familiar is a Linux distribution for
the Compaq/HP iPAQ series of handhelds. Familiar by itself comes with
no GUI. On top of it have been Opie, derived from Qtopia (most often
seen on the Sharp Zaurus), and GPE, a set of programs based on the gtk
toolkit running over X11R6.
With the v0.7.2 release, I've put together a special 'pypaq'
distribution. It has the base features of GPE (stroke recognition,...
