Python/Harmattan

Latest revision as of 21:50, 13 November 2014

[edit] Introduction

The Harmattan Python project provides a Python (v2.6.6) runtime environment for Nokia's N9 phone and the N950 developer device built on the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan platform. It provides a full-featured set of packages and tools to rapidly develop and run Python applications using the PySide: Python for Qt bindings together with the Qt Quick UI definition language. Applications can be deployed as individual Debian packages, using the community OBS, or eventually, via Ovi Store.

[edit] Getting started

The following links provide useful information for Python developers, including information about MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan Security Framework.

• Getting started with Harmattan Python
• Documentation for pyside-assistant
• Python Tutorial for Newbies
• Tutorial: Python+Qt+I18N
• Tutorial: Python+Qt+DBUS
• Python 2.6 porting tips
• Performance Considerations for Python Apps

If you are interested just in installing applications that depend on Python you can get a lot of them using the repositories listed here. All depending packages will be automatically installed.

• Ovi Store;
• MeeGo Apps;
• MeeGo Apps - Beta;

[edit] API Bindings

The Harmattan Python project tries to cover as many APIs as possible. Nowadays there are bindings for the green marked modules:

In addition to the listed APIs above (provided by python-dbus, python-pyside, python-qtmobility, python-qtsparql) there are lots of packages:

python-cairo          python-chardet    python-conic          python-content.action
python-context        python-crypto     python-dateutil       python-gconf
python-gi             python-gobject    python-imaging        python-libxml2 
python-lxml           python-magic      python-markupsafe     python-openssl   
python-pkg-resources  python-pycurl     python-pygments       python-roman     
python-storm          python-tralchemy  python-twisted-web    python-twisted-words 
python-xdg            python-numpy      python-beautifulsoup  python-feedparser 
python-pygame         ipython
