Last month, Forum Nokia Wiki organized a contest for reviewers - Review an Article contest! The purpose of this competition was to provide additional feedback pointing out high quality articles that are tested by the community. The contest was well received by the developer community and we got more than 1200 articles reviewed during this contest.

As for the winners, one winner is selected randomly (as promised), giving everyone who participated a fair chance to win. FireSwarog was randomly selected as the lucky winner.

Do you find Forum Nokia Wiki articles helpful? Are you amongst the people who finally feel relieved after seeing a code snippet in the Forum Nokia Wiki? or a person who keeps wondering about a programming issue, which at last you find filed in the Forum Nokia Wiki Knowledge Base?

Certainly, Forum Nokia Wiki has been an invaluable resource and it looks like the information available will grow more and more. Almost all of us, developing on Nokia mobile platforms, use the Wiki consistently. Did you ever think of writing a comment/review of the article, if the solution presented in the article worked for you? Such comments/reviews are really helpful to the developers who might refer to the article at a later stage.

Well, for the month of September, you can win an N97 multimedia device by giving your approval (submitting reviews) to one or more Wiki articles.

Review an Article Contest

The purpose of this competition is to provide additional feedback pointing out high quality articles that are tested by the community.

Participate in the Review an Article Contest by submitting your reviews (in the form of comments) to the article/articles (other than yours) that have been helpful to you or that interest you. If the article is of high quality edit it by putting the template ReviewerApproved within double curly braces as the first line in the article. Place the code before anything else on the page like this:

{{ReviewerApproved}}

Find more details on the Wiki Reviewer details page.

Anyone that creates a review has a chance to win. One device will be awarded randomly to someone that positively rates an article with review comments. Of course those with the most quality reviews will be the winners but everyone has a chance to win. At least five N97's are to be awarded for this contest.

The contest start 00:01 September 1st, 2009 until 11:59 September 30th, 2009.

As predicted here, PyS60 team releases one more PyS60 dot release in the series of 1.9.x releases.

Some additions as below, and as said earlier, baby steps are always good.

New features with PyS60 1.9.4

• A single Nokia signed runtime package which can be installed on all S60 3rd ED and above devices is available.(size with dependencies=2.8MB, actual size if runtime ~1MB)
• Improved Application Packager: The PyS60 application packager now scans the Python application being packaged and picks up the missing Python modules on which the application is dependent and packages them along with the application files.
• Easier runtime deployment: Python runtime and its dependent components can be installed by just running any Python application packaged using 1.9.4 application packager. (Only available from S60 3rd edition FP2 devices onwards with latest firmware)
• Two new APIs added to the socket module - access_points() and set_default_access_point() which have similar functionality to the APIs present in btsocket module.
• Two new APIs  added to e32 module - get_capabilities() and has_capabilities(). The former can be used to get the capabilities, the application has been signed with, and the latter to check if a given list of capabilities is granted to the application or not.
• New mode to appuifw.app.screen - 'full_max' which can be used to achieve fullscreen on devices that don't have Left Soft Key and Right Soft Key(e.g.: Nokia 5800).

May be few more dot releases should lead to a final product - PyS60 2.0 - pretty soon!

Last month, the Forum Nokia Wiki organised a Edit and Win Wiki Contest.

As the name suggests, the competetion had a prime focus on editing articles and we did get a very good response from the contributors, all over the world. All articles edited during the time period of the competetion were subjectively judged on how well they are edited, what additional content is provided and the number of Edits during the period of competetion.

It is great pleasure to announce the four winners of the Edit and Win Wiki Contest. The first overall winner is Savaj with his many useful and insightful edits on the Wiki. First runner-up overall was Mind freak who seemed to have spent all his free time polishing up articles. Since we felt it was not fair to have Forum Nokia champions competing against the general contributor, Kamaljaiswal, was selected as a winner among Forum Nokia champions. Dougcn edited many articles this month through translations and he was the fourth winner of the editing contest.

Forum Nokia Wiki Administration thanks all those who participated in the competetion.

Apart from the contest, Marcelobarrosalmeida ‎ who has contributed several extremely useful Python articles was selected as the Contributor of the Month for March 2009.

I hope you all join me in congratulating these winners.

The March 31st deadline is only a few days away, and the Forum Nokia Wiki is putting out a FINAL call for entries to contributors worldwide to edit and submit outstanding articles for "Edit and Win" Wiki competition.

The rules of the contest are simple; Edit by addition of Material or correcting inaccuracies or formatting to a more standard look any Wiki article. All articles edited during the time period will be subjectively judged on how well they are edited, what if any additional content is and the number of Edits during the month. The top contributors will win a new Nokia device based on availability the first of April. Only Edits during the contest period 00:01 GMT March 3, 2009 to 23:59 March 31, 2009 will be judged for this contest. Edits that are considered frivolous by the judges will be penalized by not judging one or more viable edits.

Prizes for the competetion include Nokia S60 devices such as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic or other device of your choice (depending upon the availability) along with the appreciation of your peers.

Important links,

• Rules of Participation - here.
• More information on the contest here.
• Follow discussions pertaining to the contest here.

If you haven't participated - this is your chance, its not yet late edit articles. And remember - Quality counts first!

So what are you waiting for? Don’t delay - enter to win!

Finally, PyS60 1.9.3  - now updated to Python core 2.5.4, one of the dot releases in the 1.9.x series has been announced less than an hour ago!

Here is the list of improvements and what a list!

• Good news, the newer version now supports touch interfaces on the appuifw Canvas. An API has been added to the existing appuifw and the function - touch_enabled() is used for checking if the device supports touch input.
• Also a sample application - scribble - is provided with the installation.
• New module - sciptext makes PyS60 more poweful enabling/extending use of services like  Application Manager, Calendar, Contacts, Landmarks, Location, Logging, Messaging, Media Management, Sensors and Sys Info.
• Easier installation - now only one file needs to be installed - PyS60 Script Shell (available from S60 3rd FP2 onwards).This should support all ensymble packaged applications in future releases.
• Enabled SSL support for socket.

I believe that the above concrete list of enhancement in the PyS60 version is a Big leap forward towards 2.0

Long live PyS60!

Forum Nokia Developer Conference 09, INDIA - Infinite Possibilities

The stadium is jam packed....BANG!

and what an event!

Today I had a chance to attend this event at the software capital of India, Bangalore. The event was held at Taj Residency  in the heart of the city (very good location, great arrangements). The event witnessed overwhelming response by a good number of developing companies, individual developers, operator leaders, Nokia and Symbian leaders. The crowd seemed to go above 400 in number. The first such event in India, focussed on the developer community and development oppurtunities. However, it also covered a variety of interesting keynotes from ellite speakers, amongst which were Mobile value added services (MVAS), Location based services (LBS), Mobile widgets, emerging markets, trends in mobile OS development, smartphone evolution, etc. Not to forget Technology Showcase where successful developers presented their applications and future roadmaps.

The Forum Nokia team organising the event showed high hospitability towards the participants. The technical guys, Balagopal NKnair and Nitin Srivastava, were busy discussing and sharing their technical expertise with the crowd. Shiraz Datta was also very friendly and discussed development oppurtunities with the participants. 

It was quite a good time for me to network with some great people including some developers from other technologies and Forum Nokia Champions, whom I had never meet before. Special thanks to Mr. Prakash Sayini and Mr. Santosh Ostwal for sharing their personal career experiences and words of advice to students after the wind up. Last but not the least, the  special memorable dinner with fellow Forum Nokia Champions and Forum Nokia Team before winding up. Also great thanks to Nicholas Foo, Technical leader for the Forum Nokia, APAC, for sharing the story of evolution of Forum Nokia with us at the dinner.

Like mentioned at the event, the presentations should be available at the event site soon.

Well done Forum Nokia...   So where is the next one?

Cheers,

Croozeus

Happy New year to all!

On the onset of the new year, lets talk about the Forum Nokia Wiki. In learning to develop for S60, Forum Nokia Wiki has been an invaluable resource and it looks like the information available will grow more and more. From the birth of the Wiki till date, many mobile developers including FN members, FN Champions and experts have shared their knowledge and expertise with their aricles and many people work behind the scenes to organize them. Forum Nokia Wiki currently has 5889 articles. I, on behalf of Wiki Admin team, extend our deepest appreciation and thank all those who have helped in making the Forum Nokia Wiki a better community resource.

Here, I would particularly want to highlight an element of the Wiki which has emerged in the middle of the last year. In mid July 2008, we had introduced in the Wiki, a section for Featured articles. Since then each week, a deserving article is chosen as the Featured Article of the Week and is featured on the home page. Featured articles are considered to be good quality articles in the Forum Nokia Wiki, as determined by the  Forum Nokia Wiki administrators. Before being listed here, these articles are reviewed for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style. Featured articles are indicated by a small tick in the top right corner of the article. All the articles that are selected as featured articles can be found here. This week we reached our 25th Featured article.

Forum Nokia also continues to honour one member every month for their outstanding contribution to our community’s Wiki. The contributor of the month is awarded a new S60 device. The honor is given to people that have contributed outstanding work for the month in number of articles and quality of the articles. You too can be a  Contributor of the Month by simply contributing useful articles, example codes or white papers. Over and above, Forum Nokia Wiki also organizes special contest at regular intervals and rewards the winners. 2008 witnessed four such competetions including 2008 Code Example Challenge, The Asian Wiki Quest for Students, 2008 Widgets Contributions Contest and S60 5th Edition UI Contribution Contest.

Thus, it has been a great progressive year and Forum Nokia Wiki continues to become more versatile resource. And if you develop or are interested in developing for S60 or mobile platforms in general, check it out and feel free to contribute useful articles. 

See you at the Wiki !

It started on 26 December in 2004 with vesion 1.0 stable release  of PyS60. In October 22, 2005 updated to 1.2, Python for Series 60 1.2,with lots of improvements: camera, calendar, audio(play & record), telephone & contacts, and graphics and available also for N70, N90!

In February 2006 - PyS60 becomes OPEN SOURCE ! However, unofficially there were PyS60 packages available till PyS60 1.4.0. Officially with version 1.3.1 - support for the 1st edition devices was abandoned.  After a series of version 1.3 releases and a release candinate on July 6, 2007 - Python for S60 1.4.0 FINAL was released. This release was officially Nokia signed. The capabilities for the PythonForS60 component were "ALL -TCB -DRM -AllFiles", so the DLLs are usable with almost all applications as is and thus there is no longer a need for a separate unsigned-freedevcert version of this package. Lots of bug fixes and new additions, till 1.4.0 Final.

Moving on - Just before the smartphone show on October 16, 2007, Python for S60 1.4.1 FINAL was released. Improved telephone and position modules; autostart support added; sensor module added for N95 and 5500; video camera support added to camera module was added.

In the year 2008, January 21 Python for S60 1.4.2 FINAL was released. This release came with a new Logs module - phone's log module added : SMS , received calls etc. and 13 bug fixes. Following in quick succession on May 5, 2008 PyS60 1.4.3 FINAL was released. 3 new feature additions one of which included - Increased the maximum length of the message that can be sent using messaging.sms_send()to 39015 characters and some bug fixes.

Next, PyS60 1.4.4 FINAL came out with a new module globalui for displaying notes and queries from background applications; Added functionality to mark SMS's in the inbox as read or unread and added support for S60 SDK 3.1. In the beginning of this month- 3 December 2008, PyS60 1.4.5 was found embedded in the latest Mobile Web Server release by our own Cyke64, before it was officially made public and announced. This was just a mantaince release probably specially for MWS ;)

Finally this X'mas eve Santa gave us PyS60 1.9.0 which was based on new Python 2.5.1 core. A GUI version of Ensymble for packaging scripts into sis files and more extensive documentation in the form of HTML documents are  now made available. Thus packaging is made more easier. Unfortunately, S60 2nd Edition no longer supported with this new release.

Let us wish PyS60 a very happy birthday. Also credits go to PyS60 Team for working hard and providing us with desired results.

Long live PyS60 !

It has been a wonderful X'mas morning today, and the new PyS60 version 1.9.0  released on Forum Nokia Discussion Boards.

This post summarizes new features of PyS60 1.9.0 and PyS60 2.0 expectations.

So whats new with this major release? Below is the list,

•  Python 2.5.1 core, with much better compliance to the standard Python than before. Most of the modules in the standard library are included - basically almost all that make sense on this platform and even some that don't (for regression testing purposes). This includes such goodies as the Expat XML parser, ftplib, smtplib, urllib2, xmlrpclib, SimpleHTTPServer, cPickle, asyncore and especially the much more compliant socket module. Garbage collection is enabled, so there is no need to dismantle reference cycles anymore.

• Packaging Python applications to SIS files is much easier. The user-friendly Ensymble tool is now the official packaging tool, and we've made a GUI for it so packaging your application is now just a button press away.

• The environment for SIS packaged applications is closer to the script shell environment, since the script shell is no longer a special case but just a regular application packaged using the Ensymble tool. This should make testing your application easier.

• SIS packaged applications are now more robust:

• If the runtime is missing and you try to launch the application, a human readable error message is displayed instead of the application just failing to start, like before.

• If the application raises an exception on start-up, the traceback is printed on the screen instead of the application quitting silently.

• The applications have a default text console just like in the script shell environment, so printing text using the print statement works the same way in SIS packaged apps and the script shell.

• On S60 3rd Ed FP2 devices, access GPS out of the box without signing hassle! Since S60 3rd Ed FP2 devices now permit the Location capability for self-signed applications, that capability is now enabled by default in the S60 3rd Ed FP2 binaries.

• Almost all of the old 1.4.x Python APIs are included. The rest should be added during the 1.9.x series.

• The interpreter start-up time is considerably longer than in 1.4.x. We'll optimize this.

• The runtime package is much bigger than with 1.4.x. This'll get smaller once we have the modified packaging model working - estimate is that the final base runtime would be less than 1MB.

• There is an additional dependency to the OpenC libraries, which must be installed for the runtime to work.

• Sadly, S60 2.x devices are not supported by the new code-base, and never will be. This is because OpenC libraries aren't available for S60 2.x.

• This initial release is aimed at script developers, not extension developers, thus no plug-in to the C++ SDK is included. The C++ SDK plug-in should follow soon.

• Binary compatibility between 1.9.x versions isn't guaranteed until 2.0. We won't break it without good reason, but it can happen.

Bogdan summarized them as follows,

Pros:

• Python 2.5.1 core. Yes, that means more modules and improved versions of the already existing ones will be available. This is very good when it comes to stability.
• Official packaging method. This is my personal favorite. The very useful Ensymble has been given a rather nice GUI which makes it easier to use.
• Better error handling. If the application raises an exception on start-up it doesn't just terminate silently but prints the traceback on the screen.

Cons:

• Much longer installation and start-up time. Really, you'll notice the difference. But like the thread says, this will be fixed.
• No support for S60 2nd Edition. Sadly, this part of the S60 family will no longer be supported now or in the future, because there are dependencies on OpenC libraries, which aren't available for 2nd Edition.

Notes:

• This release works on S60 5th Edition like the previous ones did, but it doesn't explicitly have any special features for it (like support for touch events).
• In a strange yet understandable way, the runtime isn't signed by Nokia with all capabilities like before. We only get the user-grantable set this time.
• Apparently PyS60 has moved from sourceforge and has a new home: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/pys60/
• The documentation no longer comes as a pdf file (at least this time it didn't) but as a much more comprehensive collection of HTML documents. I think this is better in pretty much every aspect.

This is not a stable release, but just one of the first in series of 1.9 to make a solid and a satisfying PyS60 2.0 !

 The PyS60 team has the following targets for PyS60 2.0:

• Better usability for the developer and the end user

• Easier runtime deployment. It must be possible for a developer to package their application in a way that the end user doesn't need to think about the runtime installation. Note that we're not saying the end user doesn't have to _install_ the runtime, we're just sayingthey don't need to _think_ about it.

• Easier tools installation and SIS packaging for Python applications. Especially packaging Python applications to SIS has proved to be pretty tough with all the dependencies you need to install. The 1.9.0 release improves things with the new all-in-one installer that gives you the packaging tool, the documentation and the SIS files you need for development in one package. The user-friendly Ensymble tool is now official, and there is a GUI for one-button package creation.

• Easier and more robust ways to use and distribute 3rd party extension modules with your application. Free use of third party extensions isone of the main advantages of Python, and we want to enable and encourage that. We'll improve the Ensymble packaging tool to automatically bundle modules not included in the base runtime into your application SIS, as well as specify how a module author can distribute their module to other developers so that the module can be easily used.

• Integrated HTML documentation: The S60 specific documentation is now a part of the full Python documentation so you no longer need to switch between them.

• Reliability and compliance with the standard Python. We've put effort into automatic testing on multiple target platforms as well as fixing any noncompliance revealed by Python's own regrtest.py test suite. The compliance isn't perfect yet, but it's much better than with the old 1.4.x code-base.

• Quicker start-up and smaller base runtime package size than with 1.9.0.

• Selected API additions. Qt support is definitely on the roadmap. Schedule we can't give yet.

• Support for non-Windows platforms for things other than C++ extension development. Already preliminary support is available in 1.9.0, which contains an all-in-one archive that gives you the packaging tool, the documentation and the SIS files.

The plan seems good, and the packaging process is getting simpler with the availability of GUI based Ensymble.

Just hoping that one day, PyS60 ships preinstalled with the Nokia devices. May be with PyS60 2.0 ?

Merry Christmas!

Christmas approaching, and its time for gifts  

Originally Posted by jplauril View Post Ye olde 1.4.x modules are (mostly) ported. The first rough developer release of the new 2.5 codebase - PyS60 1.9.0 - will be out soon. Stay tuned.

At present the latest PyS60 release was 1.4.5 which was released few weeks ago, just another maintenance release. As quoted above by Jukka Laurilla, there is some thing good to come very soon. Yes, the all new PyS60 1.9.0, which would be based on Python 2.5, seems to be underway to be released soon.

This would be the biggest change in the hierachy of PyS60 releases, even if it would be a rough developer version initially. Again Jukka says, in another post of his, that the touch support would not be present in the 1.9.0 version, but only in the next 2.0 stable release. Well, just thinking about time between 1.9.0 and 2.0....

I sense that they are all ready with the PyS60 1.9.0 and would be releasing it in the next few days - Best X'mas gift to the PyS60  developers. And we are all ready to test the new release... Bring it on !

What else are you expecting in the new release? Would like to hear your comments- but be sure to punch them in before the release announced

How many times has it happened to you, that you need to send an urgent email, and you just don't find internet with you? 

How many times, while travelling, did you want to  send an email, but again no internet/GPRS?

Like the above two questions indicate, sometimes do we find ourselves caught up in situations like this. Moreover, if WLAN connection is not available, sometimes GPRS/WAP connection is expensive to use, particularly in India, where operators have trap tariff data plans for the same. Today as the world goes deeper and deeper into the internet, email has become the basic necessity of life for some people - Ask yourself!

Q: So what is a sensible thing to do in a situation like this?

A: Send an SMS

Well, the catch is establishing a mobile email server on a phone and using the same through other phones. A group/firm/family can use the email services by accessing the mobile email server (phone) remotely. I have been working on a similar project since last few days. The idea to turn the phone into an email hub is accomplished by an application SMS2EMAIL which serves this purpose.

The SMS2EMAIL application has to be installed on one of the phones from the group/firm/family. This phone now acts as a gateway for sending emails. Group members can send emails by merely sending an SMS to this phone (syntax specific ofcourse). The SMS Syntax is demonstrated in the screenshot below. The users can be configured on the application ofcourse, and they are authenticated before sending emails. 

Sometimes it even serves lazy people who just care to type an SMS rather than browsing the web or the webclient to send emails, and I am one of them :-)

Would love to hear comments, and below is a video demonstration, Enjoy!

At croozeus.com we have a section where we feature a PyS60 Application every 10 days.

The prominent aim of the PyS60 Applications section is to help the developers of PyS60 build standalone applications on PyS60. Also the source code of the featured application is made available so that other developers can learn from it or modify it according to their needs.

You can find the first 5 featured PyS60 Applications here. Yesterday, we just completed next 5 featured applications, which are summarized in this post. Visit here to find the list of all the Featured PyS60 Applications.

Featured PyS60 Application #6 is PyCalc by Bogdan Galiceanu

PyCalc is a PyS60 Calculator with a similar approach, for S60 devices. PyCalc is a calculator with two modes : Basic and Scientific.

The basic mode has most frequently used options like - add, substract, multiply, divide, square, square root, etc. The Scientific mode has advanced options in addition to basic functions, includind - trigonometric functions like sine, consine, tan and logarithmic and exponential functions as well. The basic and scientific modes can be toggled according to the usage. Both modes are shown in the above screenshot.

Featured PyS60 Application #7: Unity by Jouni Miettunen

 Unity was originally invented in Japan 1985 as “Chain Shot!” by Kuniaki Moribe. After that it has spread all over the world with names such as SameGame, TumeGame, KomeGame, MameGame,
DebaGame, TileFall, Cabeem, MaciGame, GD-BMD etc.

The idea is to clear the whole playing area by removing tiles in groups. The more tiles you remove at the same time, the more points you get !

Currently, there have been updates to this game. Sensor support and difficulty levels have been added. Find more info on the updates on the Python Dibo.

Twin Featured Application #8: BH BlueJack and BH Text-to-Speech by Christian Shtarkov

        

BH BlueJack an open-source bluejacking application for S60 3rd edition devices, while BH Text-to- speech - as the name suggests is text-to-speech application for 3rd Editon devices. Read more about the features of the twin applications here.
