Presenting SharePy

SharePy just have come to its second important release, so it’s a good moment to present it in society, since I couldn’t be in the Maemo summit presenting it.

I have created an application to upload files to the Nokia service Share On Ovi from the Internet Tablet. In the actual version it’s a simple application, you can add files (images, videos and audios), tag it and upload to some of your channels in Share On Ovi.
The important change in the 0.2 version is you can add multiple files at once, and tag it as a batch.

This application have received good feedback for the users of the 0.1 version (thanks to all), so I hope you enjoy it. I have good ideas to add to SharePy in next versions, and will be putting soon a list of them in its web page (almost empty at the moment).

It’s not yet in the Extras repository, it’s in Extras-devel for test purposes, when it has passed the quality test it will go to Extras. If you want to be a beta tester, install it from extras-devel (only if you are an experimented user) and tell me your comments. I will appreciate it. Now, it’s in the extras repository, install from here: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/sharepy

The most difficult part writing SharePy was create the python library to handle the Share On Ovi functionalities. In this version it has support to upload files and get your channel list. Hopefully Nokia is releasing some kind of documentation of the API soon, and I can to add more features easily without have that research everything.

To finalize, a note to Maemo WordPy users, the new and very waited 1.0 release is coming sooner than you think, I will write a post with comments about the new features, changes, and specially the new very comfortable to use UI
