Py2SIS create sis file to make standalone application

You have coded the program and tested it using PyS60 emulator or in your mobile phone. Now you want to make standalone application out of your Python code to deploy in mobile phones. You have to create SIS (Symbian Installation System) file.

Format of the command is:
py2sis  [sisfile] [--uid=0x12345678] [--appname=myapp] 
[--presdk20] [--leavetemp]

I used the following command to create SIS file for my program:
F:\Nokia\Tools\Python_for_Series_60\py2sis>py2sis.exe 
dse_stock_tracker.py dse.sis --uid 0x12345678 
--appname=DSEStockPriceTracker

If you want to know details about py2sis, get the book (ebook is there) "Programming with Python for Series 60 Platform" and go to chapter 14. The book is freely available.

But if you want to deploy your .sis to another phone, you still need to install python ??

I am not sure as I already have Python installed... I shall check it and let you know later. Thanks.

Couple of days back, I deployed a sis into another mobile phone (Nokia N70) but it didn't work. Seems that Python needs to be installed :(

Strip HTML tags using Python

We often need to strip HTML tags from string (or HTML source). I usually do it using a simple regular expression in Python. Here is my function to strip HTML tags: def remove_html_tags(data): p = re.compile(r'<.*?>') return p.sub('', data) Here is another function to remove more than one consecutive white spaces: def remove_extra_spaces(data): p = re.compile(r'\s+') return p.sub(' ', data) Note that re module needs to be imported in order to use regular expression. Here you can find an updated code that gets the text from html: http://love-python.blogspot.com/2011/04/html-to-text-in-python.html

lambda magic to find prime numbers

Find prime number up to 100 with just 3 lines of code. The 4th line is for printing ;) nums = range(2, 100) for i in range(2, 10):     nums = filter(lambda x: x == i or x % i, nums) print nums Isn't it amazing? Check my new post about Prime number: http://love-python.blogspot.com/2010/11/prime-number-generator-in-python-using.html

Convert text to ASCII and ASCII to text - Python code

Python has a very simple way to convert text to ASCII and ASCII to text. To find the ASCII value of a character use the ord() function. Example: >>> ord('B') 66 To get a character from it's ASCII value use the chr() function. Example: >>> chr(65) 'A' Here is a program to get the list of all characters along with their values: # program to print the list of characters and their ASCII values for value in range(0, 255): print "ASCII Value:", value, "\t", "Character:", chr(value), "\n" Here is another simple ASCII encoding-decoding program: # Convertion from text to ASCII codes message = raw_input("Enter message to encode: ") print "Decoded string (in ASCII):" for ch in message: print ord(ch), print "\n\n" # Convertion from ASCII codes to text message = raw_input("Enter ASCII codes: ") decodedMessage = "" for item in message.split(): decodedMessage += chr
