I'm just starting to play with (or try playing with) Python on my Cassiopeia pda.  I installed Python 2.2 for Microsoft Pocket PC from http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/PocketPCPython/Overview but when I attempt to run the application I get a message that it is not a valid Windows CE application.

I noticed that the release listed it as StrongArm, but don't have a concept of what that really means or what I should be looking for.  Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Barrett

"StrongARM" is the processor, usually called just "ARM", and probably the
most common one today for PDAs and similar devices.

The version of PythonCE you tried requires an ARM processor and Pocket PC
2002 or later.  The E-200 Cassiopeia, for example, should be able to run it.

If you're still unsure what's going on, then provide more details of what
PDA you have and what steps you're taking to install and run PythonCE.

Subject: [PythonCE] Current status of PythonCE ?
Message-ID: <43A01454.2050303@gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I'm starting to write python programs for my PoketPC 2003 handeld (Acer
n50).
I've tried the 2.3.4-arm release of PythonCE, and it works very well for
what matters the core python
I've also tried the wx_pyce that I found somewhere on the web (the one
that uses wxwin2.5.2),
and it works almost well, even if it is lacking in some points

I still have some questions:
 - Are there any other, newer, versions of PyhonCE ? it the project
still active ?
 - Tinkerer works, but I can't use Tix, it does not work, is complaining
about missing libraries;
    in particular it looks like it wants some dll which I don't have.
    Did anyone manage to use Tix ? or to compile it ? (I read that I
have to compile the full TCL, and I'm
    not very practical with EVC++, so I don't think I could manage to to it)
- WX: I wanted to build a more complete wxwin for Python, as space is
not an issue (you can keep the dll
    in your python dir on a SD-MMC card, it works for wxwin252)
    I have donwloaded the wxWin (2.6.2) and the wxPython (2.6.1.0)
sources; I didn't manage to compile
    wxPython, just wxWin (EVC complains about the project files in
wxPython).
    Anyway just replacing the 2.5.2 dll  with the 2.6.2 one does not
work, nor it does if I copy the wx and
    wxPython folders from the win32 version I have on my laptop (that I
installed from binary packages)
 - XML: did anyone manage to get 4Suite running on PocketPC ?
    I've found a PyXML for CE, but not 4Suite (which, for what I read,
should be better).
 - SQLite: I managed to compile sqlite 3 dll for PocketPC (or, actually,
for WinCE), but I can't compile
    PySQLite to use them from Python... any suggestions ? did anyone
manage to do it ?

Thanks a lot, even if it has some problems PythonCE is great !

          Giovanni

Hi everyone,

After complaining of not being able to build pysqlite today finally I
made it work.
(basically when I found out that a ".pyd" is actually a ".dll" ...)

Now I have a WinCE 2003 (v4.2) pysqlite 2.0.5 working, backed by sqlite
3.2.2

If someone is interested I can upload the build somewhere.

Subject: [PythonCE] PythonCE on the ARM emulator
Message-ID: <d5jyxmd1.fsf@python.net>

Since Luke Dunstan has ported ctypes to windows CE, so I got interested
in this platform.  I don't have a Windows CE device, but I found the MS
Device Emulator (1.0, Community Preview):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/emulatorpreview/default.aspx

To get started, I installed the emulator and tried to install the
current CE binaries on it.  The interactive interpreter works as far as
I can tell, except that I cannot import any extension modules in it.
When I try this, 'import _winreg' or 'import socket', Python is
terminated without any indication what was wrong.

Has anyone with more experience tried to run Python on this 'platform'?

Thanks,

Thomas

I can't download it. :-(

Shame - I'd like to play with it. I also missed any 'announcement' about
ctypes for PythonCE. Sounds good.

I had the same problem initially.

First, you need to use InternetExplorer.
Second, you need to setup a passport account.
Third, you need to disable any popup blockers, because the page
does the download via an ActiveX control.

Well, up to now it is just a patch on the sourceforge tracker.
I'd like to try it out myself before integrating the patch and
announcing a new version.

That explains why I got a zero sized response when trying to download it
from Mandrake Linux at work. :-)

I'd already negotiated the passport account part.

I just tried this and I get the same results. Running it in the debugger 
shows that the crash occurs in GetPythonImport() in Python/dynload_win.c. 
The code calls LoadLibrary() and then assumes that the returned HMODULE is 
actually the base address of the DLL in memory, which is true for other 
versions of Windows. The code tries to read the import table from the DLL 
file headers to determine whether it is linked to the correct version of 
Python (python23.dll in this case). I checked on my PDA and even though it 
tries to read from an invalid address it does not crash, so it doesn't cause 
any problems. Apparently the emulator has better memory protection (or 
perhaps it is the slightly newer OS running on the emulator) and doesn't 
allow this.

The ideal solution to this problem would be to find the real module address 
from the HMODULE: does anyone know how to do this? The easy solution would 
be to use #ifndef MS_WINCE around this code because it is not critical and 
is merely a safeguard against loading Python extensions for the wrong 
version of Python.

That would be great, although I really should be able to compile (and
debug!) this myself.  If I do this, I would want to quickly move from
Python 2.3.4 to 2.4.2.  Or is there any reason not to try this, on CE?

Unfortunately I don't have an appropriate place my Python builds, so could 
you suggest somewhere? Of course I eventually want it to become part of the 
PythonCE project, so perhaps the developers of that project would be kind 
enough to allow me to upload new builds, marked as "alpha" or "snapshots" 
for now?

I think moving to version 2.4.2 is a good idea but I doubt it will be 
trivial and I think it will distract from the current task verifying that my 
port of ctypes works as you expect. I think it is better to focus on the 
working version of Python we have at the moment and upgrade later. Is there 
any specific problem with using Python 2.3?

If you want, I can add you as developer to the ctypes project.  Then you
can upload them to the ctypes files section (I assume these builds will
also be of interest to other people, and they are related to ctypes as
well).  If you agree, send me your SF username by private mail.

No, except that I want to use decorators, if at all possible. But this
can wait.

I'm sure this is a hoary old chestnut, but I haven't seen a real solution
while looking through the archives.

I want to launch Internet Explorer from PythonCE, in order to present HTML
help text.  How do I do it (without recompiling)?

Try this:

1. Install the attached win32process module
2. import win32process
3. win32process.CreateProcess('peghelp.exe', 'file:wince.htm', None, None, 
0, 0, None, None, None)

Hope that helps,

I would suggest that you just download the latest one you can find and try 
it. An interesting list is at: http://www.traybor.com/PythonCE/

> 2) what are the fundamentaly differences between Python on Windows and PDA

Basically the differences are those that result from the differences between 
desktop Windows and Windows CE, for example, Windows CE does not have pipes 
so operating system functions like popen are not available. There are also 
some differences due to some modules not having been ported to Windows CE 
yet, e.g. pyexpat (at least in PythonCE 2.3.4).

> 3) what is the best solution for coding for PDA's (menas Editor and so on)

I think the best way to write PythonCE programs is to do it on desktop 
Windows, test them on the desktop and then transfer them to the PDA. If you 
need to write the code on the PDA then I don't know of any IDEs or 
particularly good text editors (because I haven't looked much) but I think 
there are quite a few text editors available.

I don't know the answer to this question.

Subject: [PythonCE] Pyro on PythonCE
Message-ID: <200512272005.12153.jeff_barish@earthlink.net>

You guys have already been tremendously helpful in my efforts to get up to 
speed on PythonCE, so I hope that you will bear with me on one more startup 
question.  I have now successfully gotten PythonCE 2.3.4 running on my Dell 
Axim x51v.  I also seem to have wxPython running.  Now I need to get Pyro 
running.  Pyro comes with a distutils setup script, so I need to run the 
command "python setup.py install".  The usual way to do that is with a 
command window.  As far as I can tell, Windows Mobile 5 does not come with a 
command window or a way to run a single command.  I went prowling on the web 
for a command window and found PocketConsole.  Unfortunately, it does not 
seem to work on Windows Mobile 5 (it claims compatibility with Pocket PC 
2002).  The only way I can think of to run the setup is by creating a batch 
file (or a Python script), but I think a command window will be useful.  Does 
anyone know of one that works on Windows Mobile 5?

Even if I am able to run the setup script, I wonder whether the installation 
will work because the file system hierarchy on winCE appears to be different.  
At a minimum, I will need to modify the script so that the test for platform 
treats 'Pocket PC' the same as 'win32'.

In case anyone is breathless with suspense, I am pleased to report that Pyro 
does seem to run on PythonCE.  It is possible to install Pyro without using 
the installation script (just put the Pyro folder in the module search path).

I would still be interested in a console, if anyone knows of one that runs on 
Windows Mobile 5.

Hmmm.. I use Pocket Notepad. :-)
It doesn't do indentation though.

Pocket IDLE is ok - but I can't get it to share it's clipboard with
windows. It also crashes occasionally. I *think* both these problems are
down to the Tk/Tcl port not IDLE itself - other people don't report the
same problems, but I've tried re-installing and had the smae issues on
two devices.

I'd also welcome suggestions...

All the best,

PythonCE doesn't have 'input' or 'raw_input' - that's why you get the
EOF error.

It's because the console is implemented differently (wrongly/not at all
?) on Windows CE.

No, there is a specific version of IDLE for for WindowsCE - I've
attached it her (might not make it onto the list, so I've sent a private
email as well).

I *think* the URL pointing to it is archived at :
http://www.traybor.com/PythonCE/

You'll need Tk/Tcl as well - again the URL should be on that page. Make
sure you are running Python 2.3.4 *not* Python 2.2.

The Python executable imports modules *from* the Zip file. (So don't
unzip it).

In my distribution I have :

/Program Files/Python/python23.zip

Plus lots of other files ('.pyd's and python.exe) in the Python directory.

It sounds like your distribution is now running if you can run IdleCE.

All the best,
