Python / Can I Run A Python Script As An Opie Application?

I don't know exactly for Opie - but the stepe are more or less the same as on a Sharp ROM.

A few steps necessary

1) copy the .py file to /home/QtPalmtop/bin and make it executable
      (you did a symlink - probably that might work as well)

2) make a .desktop file under /home/QtPalmtop/apps/<whichever tab you want>

as

[Desktop Entry]
Exec = file.py
Categories=
MimeType = application/python
Icon = <graphics file under /home/qtpalmtop/pics>
Name = <whatever app>
Type = Application
Display

3) edit the /home/QtPalmtop/etc/mime.types  file and add a mime type for python
(this may not be necessary if you set the mimetypes in the .desktop file).

4) Restart Qtopia

That should put your application icon on the desktop.
Remember - for desktop apps - all scripts have to be in /home/QtPalmtop/bin

Hope this works...

Thank you for clarification. But I can see no difference to my settings but for the different /home/ in my Hentges-ROM.

Well, I tried the MimeType line. Still no icon displayed. And for the symlink: there are a lot of other symlinks in my .../QPalmtop/bin/ - and they work.

look at opie-pyquicklaunchapplet
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=110233\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Thank you, I installed it, but I don't know what to do with it. There appears no icon in the task bar as it should have(?), and I find no description in the net which I can understand. All I find after the installation that it is no program, but a library.

I'm no programmer, I don't know anything of C++, the work with Python and PyQt was hard for me, but it was fun though.

So I hoped to have more fun, but it seems I've got to wait for it.

Can you help me further?

Did you try running it from the launcher?

Just go to the /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/ directory and create a launch icon.  You can use the other files in that directory as a template.

Well, I did, and I don't get any icon displayed, even after system restart.

The directory proper in my settings is /media/card/opt/QPalmtop/apps/Games.

My bht.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Bht
Icon=gaim
Exec=bht
Comment=Program to record Bridge Home Tournaments
Comment[de]=Programm zur Protokollierung von Bridge-Heimturnieren
Type=Application
Type[de]=Anwendung

As a picture I borrowed some other already there (.../QPalmtop/pics/gaim.png) for the time being, only to test.
In .../QPalmtop/bin/ I put the symlink "bht" to my script "bht.py", which is executable.

What is wrong or missing?

Is it possible to run a Python-PyQt script as an Opie application?

So far my script runs from the console. But while it is running I can't launch another programm without killing it.

Can someone help me with some URLs to special guides to get me going?

Thanks
