hello,
I wonder if anyone has (good ;-) experiences with Python on a PDA ?
And if so,
- what OS
- what GUI
thanks,

I haven't done much programming yet on my Nokia n810, but a lot of the
community software for it is written in Python. Google for "n810
python" or "maemo python" and you'll find plenty of hits. The OS is a
Debian Linux variant called Maemo 4 (chinook), the gui is something
called Hildon which sits on top of GTK.
Here are videos and screenshots of something that is implemented largely
in Python:
http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/
and from another page on that site:
Canola uses and contributes (when possible) with the following
components :
* Python as main development language
* Atabake as media engine
* LMS as media scanner
* EFL for drawing, thumbnails and UI scripting
* We also created all the required bindings to enable python to
use EFL; get them here
* Components licensed under GPL/LGPL such as Canola daemon and LMS
We also encourage and promote the use of Python and EFL for rich UI
applications that require increased performance and flexibility over
today's available SDL or Pygame. So feel free to talk to the
development team at #canola on the freenode IRC servers.
