You have to specify a price on the app's admin page. Until then, it shows as "Coming Soon!", and can't be purchased.

Let's make this happen! First, what happens when someone tries to access the JSON without logging in? Obviously, commercial apps shouldn't be available from here. But should they be removed entirely? Or should they be listed but marked as inaccessible (eg. have the "uri" field left blank or...

Ahh, well done. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

I'm kind of a Distutils guru, but I've almost never had to deal with its interface to GCC. But I can tell you that you can create a setup.cfg file without hassle. Put it in the same directory as setup.py; any options in the .cfg will override those in the .py, but otherwise the .py will...

I wouldn't exactly call the database "temporary". If it disappeared on reboot, then the next time you start PNDstore, the list would be entirely empty until you hit the update button. I suppose that's not a deal-breaking loss of functionality, but is it really worth the 400KB it would save...

Are you referring to the version from the repo (in a PND), or the version included in the HF6 firmware? The one that's included in the firmware has to store its data to the user's home directory. Where else would you expect it to go? But the PND version shouldn't be doing any NAND writes.

So you're planning to release backend code, but not frontend code. Any particular reason for that?

Not quite. It's not pure Python in that it depends on the PopCap framework, a C++ library if I remember correctly. But the Linux port, TuxCap, is open source, so it's probably doable.

I am in favour of this. Consider PS3, XBox, and Wii controllers; each has one central button that always brings up the system menu, entirely independent of the application running it. So I think the Pandora button should access Pandora functions; other buttons should be used for accessing...

That's simply not feasible because Pandoras don't ship with an included SD card. It's impossible to have OS on SD as the "default" if Pandora's aren't delivered that way. So if Arch can't be fit on the NAND (and it's certainly not designed for that), then we can't expect it to be usable as the...

DasFool: That's very possible, though distPND won't do that part for you. I'm not familiar with how Quake handles it, but you could add something like this to the program's startup: if not os.path.isdir(datadir): urllib.urlretrieve('http://source.file') If you can direct me to the...

All fixed. Version 1.0.3 is on the repo. The issue was that Stella PXML containing a non-UTF-8 character, even though PXMLs should always be in UTF-8. PNDstore would parse it just fine and put it into its database, but then would choke attempting to read the invalid character. Unfortunately...

Downloaded, I'll test it soon. Edit: Found the error; it's a unicode-related problem. I'll post again once it's fixed.

So you're saying that, when Stella is on an SD card, PNDstore can't detect certain other PNDs? Or something like that? It certainly sounds like trouble. If you could send me the offending PND, that would be very helpful.

I just came across an article on sorting by user rank. They way you currently have it certainly works, but this might give some ideas of how else you might do it.

Everyone. It's up! The repository is at randy.heydon.selfip.net/extra/repo.json If you're using PNDstore, you can add it as a second repository. In it's appdata, open pndstore.cfg. Under "repositories", add the URL given above. It should end up looking like this (note the presence of the...

Thanks milkshake, that was really helpful! Your code was much more straightforward than what I originally had in mind. The parser took a little while to write, but that seems to be working too. The whole program was written fast and dirty, but it looks like it's doing its job. Here it is...

Don't worry, I got plenty of experience with malformed PXMLs while writing PNDstore ;) Parsing them will never be perfect, but it should be enough to give the right idea to end users. I think I've figured out how to crawl through the download links, but your code could be useful. Post it up...

I could create a crawler that finds all PNDs on apps.o.o, parses them for info, then lists them all in the repo format. That would at least make them a little more accessible to users. Would that be an okay stopgap solution?

I can see it here. I type "super", then cursor up/down brings me to Super Geometry Dust, Super Methane Bros., and SuperTux.
