Dingoo A320 forum

I was messing around and compiled tinypy for dingux along with its SDL proof of concept demo. Thought I would post it in case anyone was interested.

Warning the SDL demo julia.py works but it doesn't quit properly (what do you expect from proof of concept)

hmm python scripts on dingux. this could open up a lot of possiblities.

Before any one else start requesting stuff
I made a calculator topic well there a lot of python calculators so this would be awesome.

I think I did read this request somewhere else and I am curious about how you see it working? Calculators have a lot of buttons but dingoo only a few. I would have thought this kind of application would probably better for a device with touch screen.

just wonderin whats the difference between tinypy and regular python? I had included python in one of the earlier toolchain/rootfs's though I dont think its in booboo's latest.

You can just navigate over the buttons like an normal calculator. Maybe it is a good idea to turn the dingoo 90 degree and use select to enter and the dpad to go to the buttons. Maybe xyba to select buttons and the dpad to navigate the formulas. Start to enter, and select as backspace.
The only big problem is will it fit the screen? But if you see how much information there is in the terminal this shouldn't be a problem.
Another problem is off-course some one that can do this, python looks very accessible for beginner programmers, so if it runs on Dingoo I will try to throw a rock at it
I'm also a Blender user so it would be cool to learn it a bit.

I am not an expert but I think it's size. It's stripped down to the absolute minimum. It will run python scripts but doesn't have pythons extensive libraries. I think if python was going to be included it would be a good idea to build in the modules that are already in dingux like SDL . That way we could use it to quickly build SDL apps for the dingux. Games would not be fast but you could knock up menu, file selectors, utilities etc etc in no time.

That was pretty much my reasoning behind including it earlier since those things you named would be able to be done in no time flat. I just wasnt sure on graphics capabilities since there would be no X you couldnt use tcl/tk/qt/whatever else and I didnt know there was an sdl lib for python.

hmmm... didn't use python for a while, but it would really be very useful for dingoo-development.
Also remember that python is only slow, if your intensive operations are coded in python. If you use methods implemented in a lower-level language, like most things in pygame or python's math-library, overhead is quite low.

Sample use pygame lib. Its cool, there are many screenshots of pygame games and programs on video.
