media/mmc1 $ python OpenWatch.pyc
Waiting for connection
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "OpenWatch.py", line 29, in <module>
if len(data) == 0: break
NameError: name 'listen' is not defined
/media/mmc1 $

this is the error I'am getting

by the way the dbus-python should be python-dbus

I'm getting the same error as djxfma

Maybe i'm doing something wrong, i've installed some of the python apps in Application manager and did just like djxfma using xterminal and got the same error,

is there anything else i need to download and if so could someone please point me in the right direction ?

There were some errors in the first version. I had to buy N900 to test it.
Now I have SMS working. I will add call notifications and release it. Then the other stuff.

you just bought a N900 for testing lol! Good to hear you trying so well on this applet it wasn't a big error tough. Could have fixed myself if I had the source. I am an programmer to. Maybe not with the same expertice but it will do.

Many thx for all youre effort!

I just downloaded the new OpenWatch 0.2 Maemo, did exactly as instructed, and i still get the same error as posted by djxfma

please help

it indeed isn't working yet, but my guess is that this is an old version? And the new one ain't released yet. Or does it need OpenWatch.py?

I see you alreadymgot some more stuff working

My bad. It was just (somehow) the old/wrong version. Should work now.

No problemo! I tought so it works great
Could you get the volume working to? Many thx

I just had an error. I received a phone call and after I hung up or was it the other party. But anyway the script didn't work anymore after cancelling the script and a fresh start of the script it started working again.

Currently there's no error handling and I didn't tested this case. But I will...

Just downloaded v0.2.1, works very well

Can't wait for all the other stuff to start working !

Thanks a lot !

The best part is that other notifications (email/im/skype/...) are so easy to add (at least I think).

i am running the script all day long now didn't had any more problems! Looking forward to the next release!!
