CaltrainPy
I recently ditched my first generation Palm-based phone, and bought a Cingular 8525. It runs Windows Mobile, so I unfortunately had to give up the excellent Caltrain+ program, and find something else to show me Caltrain schedules. Unfortunately the offerings don’t seem very good. I found two Java programs, one of which I failed to install and the other has such a terrible UI I finally decided to roll my own.
Having worked with Python for a few years I really did not like the idea of writing a native C++ application, and besides, I am not sure if it is even possible to do that without shelling some bucks for Visual Studio. Luckily there is a Python port for Windows Mobile. I could not find a version of wxPython - of which I have some experience - for WM, so I settled on Tkinter. Over about three days (maybe 12 hours total or so) I finally got an application that is just about usable, and even runs on my device, albeit slowly. I give you CaltrainPy 0.1!

Sure. Just follow the “CaltrainPy 0.1″ link for the source code.
Post a link here to what you’ve done, or drop me email: my first name at heikkitoivonen.net.

Hi,
I recently acquired a HTC P3300 with Window Mobile5.
I just wonder.
1.How do you launch a Python app on you PDA?
2.Which editor are you using to edit the python files on you PDA? (I plan to go on vacation and i can’t miss coding in Python !)
Many thanks
Alain

1. I just navigate to the .py file with Explorer and click on it.
