Blog from nokia tablets

Posted on Jan 7, 2008

Last night I came across Benoît HERVIER's Maemo App PyGTKEditor. That finished my search for a simple text editor tool for Maemo written in Python. I was aware of how simple it was to write a client for Google's blogger.com using the python bindings of its GData protocol. So I was in search of a very simple text editor that I could tweak to write a Blogger client for Maemo.

PyGTKEditor is a very well written application. It is meant for writing/viewing source code written in variety of languages with syntax highlighting. It was very easy to trim it down to suit my needs and rewire it with sample code that came with GData bindings.

And here I have a working application that is suitable for micro-blogging from Nokia tablets. I have split it into 2 packages:

Latest Google gdata python bindings bundled into a .deb package and the blog editor itself. Here are the links:
gdata-python
maemo-blogger

I will organize this into a project if this gets bigger. For now, let me know your feedback.

P.S. If you liked this, check out another Maemo App I released yesterday.
