[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] New Python 2.4 packages for Maemo

[From: Ruda Moura]

Hello everybody,

there are new Python packages for Maemo at

* http://www.indt.org.br/maemo/repository/   -> the official repository
* http://evolutum.gotdns.com/repository/     -> mirror

NOTE: for a few days USE ONLY THE MIRROR, the official site is not 
already synced.

Apologies for the long time to release these packages and the apt 
repository. We had technical problems with our server and hope it
doesn't happen again. We expect short release time.

Changes:

* Our packages are now marked as indt release like python2.4-2.4.1-2indt4
* Python optimized modules (.pyo) are now inserted in one Zip file 
(/usr/lib/python24.lib) to squeeze size.
* Python readable modules (.py) are now in a sub package.
* PyGTK is now working with ATK.
* First release of Python bindings for Hildon.
* Small fixes in PyGTK and PyGame packages.

If you like to use our apt repository add to /etc/apt/sources.list

# Official repository
deb http://www.indt.org.br/maemo/repository/ indt main
deb-src http://www.indt.org.br/maemo/repository/ indt main

or

# Mirror
deb http://evolutum.gotdns.com/repository/ indt main
deb-src http://evolutum.gotdns.com/repository/ indt main

We had the opportunity to test PyGame in Nokia 770. I was (good) 
surprised with the speed of it. There are some pictures in
