Since Python 1.9.4 does not have scrollbars in listbox yet, it is impossible to use this component when programming for touch devices like XpressMusic 5800. I started to port my listbox on canvas for XM 5800, enabling applications like WordMobi that depends on this component. When scrollbars become available it will be simple to remove [...]

Following the official PyS60 1.9.4 release statement by Nokia PyS60 team on the 24th April, I am afraid there are many things that are buggy. The PyS60 1.9.4 SDK is still uninstallable and therefore unusable. It is unbelievable that PyS60 team did not notice this while testing. Hopefully, this should be fixed soon.

Before presenting some server code it is important to discuss about access points selection. When some socket calls like connect() are executed, a dialog is presented, allowing users to choose which connection they want to use. To avoid further connection dialogs or even for specifying exactly where you want to put your server, it is [...]

Last evening I read Lifehacker interview of Steve Wozniak. He said “I do have a Nixie Tube watch“… Uh, sorry? Was that Nokia 5800, which was codenamed “Tube”? As a watch?
After some googling I discovered an amazing analog watch, in the wrist of Steve Wozniak. I wanted one immediately, but couldn’t have. So the next [...]

The prominent aim of the Featured PyS60 Applications section is to help the developers of PyS60 build standalone applications on PyS60.
It has been many months now that we introduced “Featuring an PyS60 Application” here on Croozeus. This time we are also publishing an interview of the author of application. Since the touch support for PyS60 [...]

Before some more practicing, it is time to finish the last post about IP addressing. One important concept is missing: network masks.
After CIDR adoption, the network mask became essential for splitting the IP address in network ID and host ID. This way, the default masks for classes A, B and C could be increased (typical [...]
