PyS60

Can anyone else replicate this?

Hello.

I tried using PythonForS60_1_4_5_SDK_3rdEdFP1.zip and
PythonForS60_1_4_5_SDK_3rdEd.zip but with either of them and
S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1 I get the same problem.

Note that there's a binary compatibility break between the 3.0 and 3.1 SDKs
that affects the socket module. As a result we've made a separate 3.1 build
of the SDK available - you should use that on 3.1+.

It looks like this is a regression in 1.4.5. I installed 1.4.4 and it
worked fine.

Any news on this one?
I can't import urllib because of this e32socket bug.
I'm using S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, Feature Pack 2 v1.1 and
PythonForS60 1.4.5.

Reproduced. We'll need to investigate if there's some binary compatibility
break between the 3.0 and 3.1 emulators.

Okay, just confirming that a similar bit of code (which establishes a TCP
connection using socket) works fine when run on the N95 but has the same
problem on the emulator.

Haven't tried 2nd edition (yet)

import socket

apid = socket.select_access_point()
apo = socket.access_point(apid)
socket.set_default_access_point(apo)

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('zoic.org', 80))
s.send('GET /TESTING/\r\n\r\n')
s.recv(100)
s.close()

apo.stop()

G'day,

I'm having this problem too, and the workaround of importing socket
twice doesn't actually work ... you end up with the broken stub of the
socket library left over from the first import.

Here's the code which produces the error:

-----8<-----cut here-----8<-----
import socket

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
----->8-----cut here----->8-----

The problem occurs with PyS60 1.4.2 final and the emulator of SDK 3rd
edition FP1 and FP2 beta, when the script is run from the python app. To
install, I just unzipped the PyS60 "Epoc32" directory over
C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\ ... is this not correct? Perhaps
there's a step I missed?

Interestingly, Ensymble makes a SIS file just fine, and that file will
load without errors on an actual N95. Not that the version attached does
anything, mind you. I'll try and write one which does and comment again
...

Anyhoo, this is a show-stopper for PyS60 and me ... I'll have to go back
to the godawful C++ APIs if the problem can't be solved.

Could you please post e32socket.pyd here?

To get rid of the warning (doesn't fix the problem):

try:
import socket # This fails first time
except:
pass

import socket # Import succeed on the second time... wtf

Second import didn't help me. I couldn't use any of the socket.* methods.


This seems to be an issue with the S60 3rd Edition FP1 emulator as the
same Python SDK works fine with the 3rd Edition MR.

As a workaround fix do the following (for S60 3rd Edition FP1):
1. Download the pys60 source & unzip
2. setup.py configure 30
3. cd ext\socket\
4. bldmake bldfiles
5. abld build winscw udeb
6. copy \epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\e32socket.pyd to
\epoc32\winscw\c\sys\bin
-> import socket works!
