A great, pygame was going to be my next step. My interest, as mentioned earlier, is to work on the packaging of Python applications for easy deployment to the 770. Also, a limited "simulation" development environment for MS Windows and Linux, so folks w/o a scratchbox environment can still develop applications on their platform before deploying them to the 770. I've had some success doing this with Windows CE devices, but there are still many issues to solve. > > Because maemo is a small target device (space and memory) Python > must be customized for it, like: > > - Removing non essential modules (next release) This can be handled with smarter "sync" software with a host. I haven't seen any information about device synchronization with hosts. Perhaps because the 770 is "not a PDA". However with the introduction of EasyInstall, and Python Eggs, it should be possible to dynamically download only those standard library components an application actually needs. > - Archive and compress modules in a zip file (soon) This already works in Python 2.4, that is, putting .pyc files in a .zip file.
