Core
These packages are the minimal necessary to run or develop Python applications for Maemo.
- python2.5
- Version 2.5 of the high-level, interactive object oriented language, includes an extensive class library with lots of goodies for network programming, system administration, sounds and graphics.
- python-central
- Provides support for building and installing python modules independent of the current installed Python version.
- python-defaults
- Provides meta packages with unversioned package names (e.g. python-dev, which installs python2.5-dev).
- python-runtime
- Meta package which installs the basic Python runtime environment.
- python-support
- Provides tools for byte-compilation of Python-only modules, and automatic rebuild on major Python upgrades.
Bindings
These packages provide bindings for various Maemo components.
- dbus-python
- Python interface to D-Bus.
- gnome-python
- Python interface to various GNOME libraries: GConf, GnomeVFS, bonobo, libgnome, libgnomeui and libgnomecanvas.
- gst0.10-python
- Python interface to GStreamer.
- lxml
- Python interface to libxml2 and libxslt.
- pybluez
- Python interface to the BlueZ bluetooth stack.
- pycairo
- Python interface to the Cairo vector graphics library.
- pycurl
- Python interface to libcurl.
- pygame
- A multimedia development kit for Python, based mostly on SDL.
- pygobject
- Python interface to GObject.
- pygtk
- Python interface to GTK+.
- pyopenssl
- Python interface to OpenSSL.
- python-alarm
- Python interface to libalarm.
- python-clutter
- Python interface to Clutter.
- python-conic
- Python interface to libconic.
- python-hildon
- Python interface to Hildon.
- python-hildondesktop
- Python interface to the Hildon Desktop applets.
- python-imaging
- The Python Imaging Library.
- python-location
- Python interface to liblocation.
- python-mafw
- Python interface to MAFW.
- python-notify
- Python interface to libnotify.
- python-numeric
- The Numeric Extensions to Python (deprecated).
- python-osso
- Python interface to libosso.
- python-xml
- Python interface to XML (deprecated; use python-lxml instead).
- storm
- Object-relational mapper (ORM) for Python.
Applications
We provide some Python applications as examples, and that we find useful for PyMaemo users.
- ipython
- A enhanced interactive Python shell.
Development
These packages are necessary only if you are developing Python applications on Maemo.
- cython
- Cython is a language that makes writing C extensions for the Python language as easy as Python itself.
- pyrex
- Pyrex lets you write code that mixes Python and C data types any way you want, and compiles it into a C extension for Python.
- python-setuptools
- Extensions to the python-distutils for large or complex distributions.
Support packages
These packages are provided as dependencies for other packages, and are not used directly by users/developers.
- sdl-ttf2.0 (dependency for pygame)
- TTF library for SDL with FreeType 2 support.
