[maemo-developers] Python startup desktop icon

[From: Eduardo Lima]

Hi,

You need to call osso.Context() somewhere in your code, preferably in
the beginning of main function. You'll also need to call osso.close()
in the end of your code. Something like this:


import osso

if __name__ == "__main__":

   osso_ctx = osso.Context(thummim, <version>, False)
   ...
   <some code>
   ...
   osso_ctx.close()

Best Regards, Etrunko.
