Brainstorming: Maemo/python2.5 (sup)port

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, I own an n810 running Maemo Diablo, I believe they both use the same 
version of Python. I'll make the necessary changes and modification to make it 
run on Maemo. I've considered supporting Maemo multiple times but didn't as I 
personally don't watch too many videos on my n810 (MPlayer can be jerky on some 
videos)

I'll give it a try to package it for Diablo and push it to extra-devel and hope 
I can reuse the same script for Fremantle.

FYI: I was porting opensubtitles script to Maemo when found your project.

Maybe you'll find something useful in the code (for example dbus notifications) 
:
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/opensubtitles
And here is forum thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=63822

So I'll stop development of this and ready to try help you with what you need: 
testing on N900, icon creation, packaging, patching or else.

In order to have periscope usable on the n900, it should be integrated with 
either the native media app, a popular media app or the file manager.

I can go as far as make it runnable and support you on calling the module but 
as I don't own an n910, the native media app integration or the file manager 
integration are out of my reach. This integration could be seen as a full 
(small) project as it will require packaging, UI, ...).

The code to call periscope is pretty limited, you can take a look at the 
Nautilus module (about 100 lines of code to add download, notification, 
integration with the right-click menu and the thread creation):

riscope-nautilus.py

I just found easier way for using it with Python 2.5:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0343/
from section Transition Plan:
In Python 2.5, the new syntax will only be recognized if a future statement is 
present:
from __future__ import with_statement

Interesting.

I'll integrate that (unless you've got time to make a patch before).

Do you have any experience with Maemo package building ? I tried to reuse the 
script I have for Ubuntu but got some error:
