Hi,

Apart from what you've mentioned, you don't lose much else, really.
Maybe you'll lose a few potential users, though.
> 1. Is there a way to automatically Hildonize an app?
Not really. It's usually a major UI redesign to make it fit well on
the small screen.
With small, I don't mean the resolution, but the physical size.
> 2. If not, is there an easy way to keep two codebases (one Hildonized,
> one non-Hildonized) in a Python app?
The main differences are HildonWindow vs GtkWindow and the application menus.
You could abstract from the implementations with a wrapper class and
load the appropriate implementation for the platform. You can detect
if you're running on hildon with:
try:
import hildon
except:
HAVE_HILDON = False
else:
HAVE_HILDON = True
There are other ways for detecting, too. But this is what I prefer.
> 3, Failing that, what do I lose by not Hildonizing the Python app at all
> (at least, not in the GUI)?
See above.
> Thanks for your time. Happy Holidays & all that.
Happy holidays to you, too!
Regards,
Martin
