What has been done : - Port of Sword library and quick and dirty packaging of the swig python module for sword. Binary are available here: http://hurdygurdy.dyndns.org/maemosword/armel/ Sources packages and notes regarding they creation are availble in the mamoesword directory above armel. - Python GUI is available in the 'rapier' directory. I have not finished it and it s not packaged already, but all you need to have to run it is the script itself (and lots of python2.5 dependencies installed) http://hurdygurdy.dyndns.org/maemosword/rapier/src/rapier Screen shot is available here: http://hurdygurdy.dyndns.org/maemosword/screenshot05.png The searching stuff sort of works, but it takes 2mn to get a reply, and even if the searching is done in a separate thread, the application feel frozen :( Install sword and pythonsword, all the python2.5 gtk stuff needed.I think you will need the following repository: deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora free non-free Then install some sword module using the command line installmgr. Once you have a module installed, you can launch rapier. By the way, i would be happy to get some help on the desktop integration as i failed having rapier been launch when the user click on its icon :) Have a nice day.
