Martin Grund sent me a note on his work on PyPalm and I wanted to share it with everyone…. (if you’re building things that make programming on WebOS easier or better, drop us a note at pdc@palm.com and tell us about it!)
Martin says:
I developed a tool around the original Palm SDK tools that eases the development a little bit. It is a command line application that summarizes all available tools under one location and combines them nicely.
As an example there is a command that will package, install, and start the application in one step and without defining which application id to use, because it will look at the appinfo.json file in the directory.
As an addition to the Palm SDK I added support for localization of webOS applications. By defining a configuration entry in the framework_config.json file the application developer defines which languages are supported and when
pypalm localize
is executed it will check for all supported languages and create the necessary strings.json files and will automatically updated them if the key value set is updated.
You can find the complete source on Github and a screencast about PyPalm
and some introductory blog posts (a second one here).
