Pandora Uncompressed PNDs

[myownlittlworld]

I've made an uncompressed (folder-based) PND which, when complete and on the wiki, should further lower the bar for simple development on the Pandora itself.


A lot of things work correctly:


* The application (a simple Python script) runs fine from the terminal: it shows a blank screen for 2 seconds before quitting.


* The PXML file shows up correctly in MiniMenu and XFCE.


EDIT: So, I'm a giant flaming bucket of stupid. It wasn't running because the file's name was "simplepytest.py" not "simpletest.py". I've since corrected that in the PXML and it runs perfectly.


EDIT2: I'm less of a git. MiniMenu apparently has a bug preventing folder-based PNDs from running correctly. I've opened a thread in the support section about it.


However, when I try to run the PND from MiniMenu or XFCE, I get the error message below. Any clues what I'm doing wrong? I wasn't able to find any resources regarding my error message. Is the folder-based PND a pipedream before HF6?


simplepytest.py:

Spoiler

#! /usr/bin/python


import pygame, pygame.locals

import time


pygame.init()


vidInfo = pygame.display.Info()

resolution = (vidInfo.current_w, vidInfo.current_h)


pygame.display.set_mode(resolution, pygame.locals.FULLSCREEN)


time.sleep(2)

PXML.xml:

Yup. That's what happens when running the PND from MiniMenu. Running it from XFCE doesn't add the extra "/PXML.xml".
