Mobile code is always fiddly

Today I learnt that one couldn’t set locale with PyS60! Basically you can’t “import locale” because there isn’t such a module (it wasn’t ported to Symbian S60).

I also discovered that there is a bug with formatting floats. One gets “.” instead of “,” leaving one with no idea where the decimal point is! You may have noticed on my last sample screen. This left me with no choice but to manually repair with a little string manipulation.

However, one win was with fonts. That shot also made it obvious that not everyone can see small print, so a little fiddling got the app not only easier to see, but also directed the attention of the user to the result.

A fun aside. Now I must get around to updating the data for the equations. Bye for now.
