PyQt application development on Maemo
- Author: Attila Csipa, attila77 at talk.maemo.org
- Intended audience: application developers
- Talk type: presentation
- Abstract/description
- A complete walkthrough of creating applications for the Maemo platform with Python and Qt. The presentation would contain two segments, the first being the 'why' - introduction to underlying technologies, the rationale of using Python and Qt as a development platform on Maemo and a short demo of a few projects built with these tools.
- The second segment of the presentation focuses on the 'how' in a nutshell: How to setup up a proper PyQt development environment, how to develop most efficiently, how to debug, how to profile and optimize, platform caveats and gotchas, packaging considerations.

- Abstract/description
- Canola is a fancy media center, with a rich graphical user interface designed with touch screen in mind.

Today we have more companies supporting the development, the software was ported to other platforms like Ubuntu and OpenMoko SHR. Moreover, 5 of 10 Maemo's Google Summer of Code projects are around Canola, from media extensions like Picasa integration to non-media related as Remember the Milk (To Do list) and Bittorrent.
- The framework behind Canola is called Python-Terra, which will be presented simultaneously. A brief overview of its components, followed by explanation of its plugin system will serve as base of understanding of Canola application. Real examples of extensions and new application will be demonstrated as result.
- Author bio
- Gustavo lead the development of Canola1 and designed and implemented Canola2 together with co-workers at INdT. Now he runs a company that does software development and services, among them Canola2 development.
