[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Python and maemo API documentation

[From: Mathias Uebelacker]

Hello Alvaro,

thats right simple cut and paste will not work. There are more diffrences
between the example code and the pictures (see the application title :-))
but i think these examples should only show how a basic python application
structure should be. The questions to the not named hildon widgets (
hildon.AppView, hildonWindow...) and better descriptions is a question
...maybe for the python guys in brazil. Who build these APIs and get we more
(is someone working on that) The transfer of the C APIs to python would be
nice.

Mathias
