New Plasma with Python tutorials
2009 January 24
I just finished writing a new Python tutorial on KDE’s Techbase. This one deals with writing DataEngines in Python (a complement to Simon Edwards’s own Using DataEngines).
Let me know what you think. As it’s a wiki, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for the tutorial, thanks to these I’ve tried to write a plasmoid in python and I’ve also written a python dataengine.
Have you ever tried using your python dataengine from a python plasmoid? It crashes plasmoidviewer for me, so it would be great if you could tell me if it works for you.
I’ve written a simple testcase to show this.
Anyway, thanks for the tutorials!
I haven’t tried connecting yet. I made two DataEngines for my pet project (I hope I will announce it soon), but my schedule (work and other commitments) does not allow for a lot of coding to be done.
EDIT: I checked the testcase and I could indeed reproduce the problem. Did you file a bug report on BKO? Another idea would be to ask Simon Edwards (Sime on IRC), as he’s the PyKDE4 guy.
