Developing a mobile app in a scripting language rant 1
I'm using the qtopia image on the Freerunner. It's a mix of high stability with bling.
The most bling for your buck is the ASU image, however, and there's a lot of work people are putting into app development there.
One of the reasons I wrote the phone was to write apps. I began by looking at qtopia + python. There are Qt bindings for Python, so I assumed this would be easy.
Apparently not. There are Qt bindings for Python, but not qtopia bindings, so apps won't be completely Qtopia compatible.
There are Python apps on ASU now, but they're all using etk, the Enlightenment Toolkit. That is fine for the phone, but not as good for desktop development.
The situation is sub-optimal.
