This distribution contains some tools useful in S60Py development.

The components are

    sync
        Tool for synchronizing files between phone and PC over Bluetooth.
        Derived from ideas and code of Jukka Laurila's fileserver and Albert Huang's syncandrun.

    phcomm
        Library that simplifies creating client-server applications between a phone and a PC.
        Used by sync

    btconsole
        Derived from the btconsole that is part of PyS60 distribution.
        Includes sync() as a built-in function. If you use pyrepl, you'll also get a primitive
        shell with commands such as sync, ls, rm, cd, cat, etc.

    filebrowser
        Minor modifications to the filebrowser that comes with PyS60 distribution, slightly
        better browsing, can delete files, ...

    glob, fnmatch
        Standard Python modules that are not part of S60Py distribution, with slight modifications
        so they work with S60Py.
        Glob allows directory listing with wild cards, fnmatch is used by glob. Used by sync, btconsole.

Directory structure

    The directory structure is pretty arbitrary, however, it corresponds to what is in the sample
    sync.config

    The base/root directory has the *.py files that I want to sync to the phone as scripts.

    phonelogs and images are now empty, they could be targets for downloading images or log files
    from the phone to PC.

    libs contains libraries that should go to the phone's Python library directory (that is, to 
    c:/system/libs if you installed Python to phone memory, to e:/system/libs if you installed it
    to the MMC card). It also contains phcomm.py that is used by syncd.py on the PC side.

    pcfiles contains the files that you run on the PC. It contains the sync demon syncd.py and 
    a configuration file sync.config for it. You can create different config files, you start
    the demon by calling python syncd.py <configfile>.

Quick start

    On PC, configure your Bluetooth and associate it with a COM port.
    Modify the config file accordingly (it has lots of comments, read them).
    Transfer sync.py to phone as script, phcomm.py, glob.py, fnmatch.py as libraries.
    Start sync demon on the pc: python syncd.py sync.config
    Start sync on the phone, connect to PC, files transfer.
    Exit Python on the phone, start it again, now you can test btconsole and see if sync()
    works from there.
