PyMaemo/Components
Contents |
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.

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.
