None of them can simply replace or delete one single file, so you have to unpack the entire archive, edit the file, repack.

you have to replace ONE FILE in each of themįrom what I see, the only solution in this situation is to completely branch off the two cases, because the relevant Python modules (tarfile and zipfile) have such a completely different interface.

Python and QT could finally deliver the dream of portability that Java promised, if only we give them a sporting chance. If I have to worry about packaging is just because I have to write about the ins and outs of a particular platform in other circumstances I could have simply relied on python tools to do the right thing. I didn't have to worry about having a $HOME or a %HOME%.

I have yet another (leaky) abstraction layer on top of the OS, which may or may not be to everyone's taste, and the program runs in a sandboxed runtime, which might be slower than natively-compiled code (although this is debatable, these days) but I didn't have to write three different codepaths for each and every interoperation with the OS. I had to write my code using constructs like QSettings and QNetworkAccessManager rather than messing directly with the Windows Registry or HTTP_PROXY variables. Obviously this level of portability has a price.

Consider that the version of QT and PyQt was slightly different on all machines, just to give it a further twist.

Had I had a Mac (or iPad?) laying around, I'm confident it would have run there as well without any change. Then I went home and copied it back to a different laptop running Kubuntu Linux, and again it was running just fine.

I built a couple of forms with Qt Designer, then fired up my trusty IDE and wrote the main code, about 150 lines of Python that will download some files, manage a few controls and then display a web page.Īfter completing a full set of tests on the local machine, I copied it to my (Maemo) phone, and again it was working perfectly - without any change, recompilation, deployment, anything. This morning, I was working on a laptop running Windows XP. This seems to fly in the face of reason, having two existing GTK-based codebases from both 'parent' systems which have already been deployed on production devices, but it's actually a very smart choice, as I was reminded just today. The main development toolkit for MeeGo, from now on, will officially be QT. MeeGo is probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a real 'Linux for the masses': differently from Android, where Linux is just a kernel for Java to run on top, here we'll have the full GNU toolchain, X display, desktop technologies based on FreeDesktop standards, RPM packages, etc etc. You may safely ignore it.I'm currently working on a tutorial regarding MeeGo, the new Linux-based embedded platform born by the merging of (Nokia-sponsored) Maemo and (Intel-adopted) Moblin.

Note: When loading a program, jEdit reports an error (see red message at the very bottom of the image below).

Run it – in the Interpreter window, click the first icon (Run current buffer).Ĩ. Open file “furElise.py” located in jythonMusic folder.ħ. In the Interpreter window, using the fourth icon (Edit python path), add the following paths from the jythonMusic folder (you will have to press the ‘+’ button (right-top corner) and select them individually):Ħ. In the new window, make sure that the following Jython Interpreter options are clicked: Load at startup, Autoload JARS, Autosave, Save JythonPath, Use UP/DOWN.ĥ. Under menu Plugins, select Plugin Options. Once it starts, click on the down arrow at top-left, and select Dock At Bottom.

Under menu Plugins, select Jython Interpreter.

Run the editor, and use menu Plugin Manager to install the JythonInterpreter plugin (you may have to use a different mirror – if so, see Download Options in Plugin Manager).ģ. The jEdit editor is a popular programming editor (Windows/Mac/Linux).Ģ.
