A Hacker’s Introduction to the Nokia N900

Introduction
Welcome to the Hacker’s Introduction to the Nokia N900. This guide is intended to help you begin connecting the N900’s built-in capabilities to information and actions in the physical world. The following pages contain a step-by-step tutorial for connecting an Arduino to a BlueSMiRF Bluetooth Modem, and for configuring the modem to communicate with your computer and with the Nokia N900.

With this connection established, you can receive and send serial data over Bluetooth. You can then use languages such as Python or Flash on the phone to respond to or affect physical devices connected to your Arduino.

This guide is primarily intended for people with some experience with Arduino and/or with programming in Linux environments.

Python Guide for the Systems Biology Workbench

Introduction
This document describes the Python interface to the Systems Biology Workbench (Hucka et al., 2001b).

The Python interface has been designed so that it is very simple to call remote methods in other SBW aware modules. The intention in developing the Python module was that if should enable users to easily control SBW applications using Python scripts.

In addition to providing simple access to SBW modules, the Python interface also exposes many of the functions in the standard SBW API. The reader is recommended to consult the SBW API documentation for more details. In the majority of cases, users will not find it necessary to access the SBW API directly.

When a SBW module starts, Python is notified and a Python interface is automatically constructed to represent the module, this makes it very easy to access a module’s functionality.

A Guide to the Python Universe for ESRI Users

Abstract
ArcGIS 9 will provide scripting capabilities with the Geoprocessing Framework. This will allow scripting languages like Python to automate tasks with ArcGIS. Python has historically provided many other opportunities for scripting GIS. This paper describes an overview of the GIS tools available for use scripting with Python. Functionality such as working with
grids, image manipulation, reading and writing shapefiles, delivering maps to the Web, and communicating with the Microsoft TerraServer are described. An overview will give the reader more tools in his/her toolbox to integrate with existing software.

Introduction
Scripting in ESRI environments historically has belonged to two schools of thought. First is the AML (Arc Macro Language) model, which wears its PrimOS heritage on its sleeve. You pipe output to files, data handling is file-system and directory-based, and code is very linear in nature. The other school is demonstrated in Avenue, which wears a Smalltalk badge. Object.request is the name of the game, things don’t have to be linear, I/O is sometimes a struggle, and integrating with other programs is a mixed-bag. Both are custom languages that have their own dark, nasty corners.

Getting Started with CoaSim/Python

About CoaSim
CoaSim is a tool for simulating the coalescent process with recombination and geneconversion, under either constant population size or exponential population growth. It effectively constructs the ancestral recombination graph for a given number of chromosomes and uses this to simulate samples of SNP and micro-satellite haplotypes or genotypes.

CoaSim comes in two flavours: A graphical user interface version for easy use by novice users, and a script based version (using either Guile-Scheme or Python) for efficient batch simulations. This document is an introduction to the Python based version.

Installing CoaSim
CoaSim is distributed as RPM files, binary tar files, or as source code. For most users, we recommend installing from the RPM files, since building the tool from source requires setting up the right build environment and having access to the needed development tools. If you are not familiar with UNIX C++ development—using the Automake suite of tools and Pythons distutils system—we do not recommend that you try building from source.

Digi Python Programming Guide

Purpose of this Guide
This guide introduces the Python programming language by showing how to create and run a simple Python program. It describes how to load and run Python programs onto Digi devices, either through the command-line or Web user interfaces. It reviews Python modules, particularly those modules with Digi-specific behavior. Several sample Python programs are included on the Software and Documentation CD. This guide describes how to run the executable programs and describes program files.

What Is Python?
Python is a dynamic, object-oriented language that can be used for developing a wide range of software applications, from simple programs to more complex embedded applications. It includes extensive libraries and works well with other languages. A true open-source language, Python runs on a wide range of operating systems, such as Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and Nokia mobile phones. Python has also been ported to Java and .NET virtual machines.
