Since I’ve wanted to begin developing programs for my n800, python seemed like a good route to go.  I’ve only heard good things about beginning development with python, and that it’s a good language to star things out with.  Since I already know PHP and Java, python is also a good language to get under my belt.

So, today I started my development, and I have been able to develop two programs.  One which was requested, one which I thought was useful.  So, I present two new programs for the N800/N810 running os2008 (could also work with os2006 and os2007, but untested):

• Tip Calculator
• Weight Watchers Points Calculator (was requested)

Both programmed using Python and Glade.  The Tip Calculator took under an hour.  The Weight Watchers Points Calculator took a little over an hour, but only because I had trouble using PyPackager.  This all makes Python look really good in my eyes
