in the cvs, doc folder, pythonreadme.txt
that's all the doc available for now.
i planned to write one but it's too boring and if i suceeded to code python on xbox without documentation, other people can too!
i never found any info on how the get drive free space, so i'm posting this for others who need it. please let me know if there is any better way (i realize some of the code in the ftp part could be done better, but i wrote it when i was first learning, and i'm too lazy to fix it =] )
this code first tries to use the httpapi (available after july 21, 05) and then defaults to getting it via ftp. if you don't want to support older versions, you can modify this to use the httpapi inteface only.
hope this helps someone

@alx5962 has your scripting tutorial moved somewhere else ?
i'm not alex5962. he leaved python scene.
it's scripting tutorial was on alexpoet server, but seems to be offline....
anyway, you can get its tutorial on xbmc online manual :
http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.p....g&v=vr9 (http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php?wakka=pythonscripting&v=vr9)
good job
jmarshallnz has added so we can execute every builtin function :)
for example execute a xbe
start a slideshow
the options are endless!
the online doc i have on my website is updated to that.
xbmc.html (http://home.no.net/thor918/xbmc/xbmc.html?nocach=2)
xbmcgui.html (http://home.no.net/thor918/xbmc/xbmcgui.html?nocach=2)
look here see all thing we can execute!

sounds like you haven't updated xbmc.
thor918's more recent python docs
xbmc.html (http://home.no.net/thor918/xbmc/xbmc.html)
xbmcgui.html (http://home.no.net/thor918/xbmc/xbmcgui.html)
it's in the online manual as well (a bit easier on the eyes)
cheers,

documentation updated!
added new functions, corrected bugs and also added new tutorials.
get it here (http://members.cox.net/alexpoet/downloads/docs/)
a great python reference for those who have programming experience but not in python is
python 2.3 quick reference guide (http://rgruet.free.fr/pqr2.3.html)
it brought me up to speed with how things are done in python land very quickly without being bogged down with the basics of programming.
-asteron
i have added a new file to cvs called makedoc.py in the scripts directory. it will generate html files of xbmc and xbmcgui which will be placed in q:\\doc\\python.

i hope this is the right place to post this, if not tremove it :)
sounds like you haven't updated xbmc.
i have xbmc with an april 6th release. still no luck (my favorite feature is now gone as well :sniffle: reboot via the joystick), falling back now :d
for what it's worth, my personal website is back up again. thanks to everyone who hosted the files elsewhere while it was down.
it is a good idea to make your scripts handle errors nicely, so they atleast doesn't freeze the box... this trick written below goes alot of the way to avoid that the user is forced to reboot, while still providing debug output.
import sys, traceback
import xbmc, xbmcgui
try: emulating = xbmcgui.emulating
except: emulating = false
#get actioncodes from keymap.xml
action_previous_menu = 10
action_select_item = 7
action_parent_dir = 9
class myclass(xbmcgui.window):
* * * *def (self):
* * * * * * * *if emulating: xbmcgui.window.(self)
* * * * * * * *self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,720,480, "q:\\scripts\\tutorial\\background.gif"))
* * * * * * * *self.stractioninfo = xbmcgui.controllabel(100, 200, 200, 200, "", "font13", "0xffff00ff")
* * * * * * * *self.addcontrol(self.stractioninfo)
* * * * * * * *self.stractioninfo.setlabel("push back to quit, a to display text and b to erase it")
* * * *def onaction(self, action):
* * * * * * * *try:
* * * * * * * * * * * *if action == action_previous_menu:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *self.close()
* * * * * * * * * * * *if action == action_select_item:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *self.straction = xbmcgui.controllabel(300, 300, 200, 200, "", "font14", "0xff00ff00")
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *self.addcontrol(self.straction)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *self.straction.setlabel("hello world")
* * * * * * * * * * * *if action == action_parent_dir:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *self.removecontrol(self.straction)
* * * * * * * *except:
* * * * * * * * * * * *self.close() * * * * *#<-------------------------- look here!
* * * * * * * * * * * *e=sys.exc_info()
* * * * * * * * * * * *traceback.print_exception(e[0],e[1],e[2])
mydisplay = myclass()
mydisplay.domodal()
del mydisplay
also, if you are using progress bars. you should encapsulate the creation in a try block and close them in the finally block. that way you ensure that the progressbar is closed if your script chrashes. example:
* * * * * * * *try:
* * * * * * * * * * * *self.progressbar=xbmcgui.dialogprogress()
* * * * * * * * * * * *self.progressbar.create("downloading...")
* * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * *... do stuff ...
* * * * * * * *finally:
* * * * * * * * * * * *self.progressbar.close()
another thing you want to do is to have timeouts on all your downloads... that is automatic if you use cachedhttp from http://www.xbmcscripts.com . but if you are using urllib or urllib2 you should do like this:
import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(7.0) #seconds
thor918's more recent python docs
xbmc.html (http://home.no.net/thor918/xbmc/xbmc.html)
xbmcgui.html (http://home.no.net/thor918/xbmc/xbmcgui.html)
that documentation describes the:
class controllist(control)
* *controllist class.
controllist(
* x, y, width, height, font, textcolor,
* buttontexture, buttonfocustexture,
* selectedcolor, imagewidth, imageheight,
* itemtextxoffset, itemtextyoffset,
* itemheight, space, alignmenty )
x * * * * * * * * *: integer x coordinate of control
y * * * * * * * * *: integer y coordinate of control
width * * * * * * *: integer width of control
height * * * * * * : integer height of control
font * * * * * * * : font used for label text e.g. 'font13' (opt)
textcolor * * * * *: color of item text e.g. '0xffffffff' (opt)
buttontexture * * *: texture filename for item (opt)
buttonfocustexture : texture filename for focused item (opt)
selectedcolor * * *: color of selected item text e.g. '0xffffffff' (opt)
imagewidth * * * * : integer width of item icon or thumbnail (opt)
imageheight * * * *: integer height of item icon or thumbnail (opt)
itemtextxoffset * *: integer x offset of item label (opt)
itemtextyoffset * *: integer y offset of item label (opt)
itemheight * * * * : integer height item (opt)
space * * * * * * *: integer space between items (opt)
alignmenty * * * * : integer y-axis alignment - see xbfont.h (opt)
how do i make use of the "selectedcolor" ? once i add some of the properties, i get debug error stating that i am passing too many arguments to the controllist. i am confused with this stuff, as some stuff can be set separately (eg. self.list.setitemheight) but cannot be passed at the time of creation of the control ?
pls enlighten me *:bomb:
python docs (http://members.cox.net/alexpoet/downloads/docs/)
i started to write this documentation but i need a volunteer to correct my english grammar mistakes *;)
it's a beginner's guide so everyone is welcome to help out with writting it.
there is a new version of the tutorial available on my website (linked below). this is a complete revision, but it still covers primarily the same material.
so if you've already read alx5962's tutorial and understood it, you probably won't get much more out of the new version.
but, if you're new to python scripting for the xbox, i think it will be a little easier to read, and it also now comes with a script template to make starting new scripts a little faster/easier.
hope you enjoy. as always, feedback is welcome.
