Hey I recently started development for UbPorts and it felt quite overwhelming to get started. For this reason I decided to create a short guide for beginners who want to get started with development. I gathered many Useful resources and I hope it helps someone. I cannot promise that it is perfect though.

You can find it on aaron.place

!Solved (does this work here?) I was able to find a solution by making several changes to my code and reading many.. many.. logs and documentations. If you want to have a closer look at them I recommend taking a look at GitHub but ill try to break it down here anyways:

1. Read and write permissions. This gives enough information.
2. Non existent directories need to be created manually I added a python function to do that.
3. You cant have anything outside of your functions except import stuff because it will cause an error.
4. Some smaller formatting problems.

I might create an UpToDate beginners guide on this topic because there werent many detailed all in one guides about this topic.

There are some WebApps that allow password management but copy and pasting password is just not modern anymore. Is there a way to properly integrate thirdparty pw managers in UT or build a seperate pw Manager that allows the Import of data.

Just to explain the solution if someone stumbles across this with the same question:

use sys to add "lib/python3.8/site-packages" to path. note that you not need to "../" out of the src directory. The end result looks like this:

import sys
sys.path.append('lib/python3.8/site-packages')

You might need to change the Python version

@abmyii I was able to import properly thanks.

Hello everyone, Im currently writing an app that uses some python libraries I installed using pip3, everything works on my pc and I would now like to package it using clickable, but I have no idea how I can add those libraries to my build. Any tipps on how to do that? thanks already.

@antidroid
Here are my logs.

@unisuperbox Yes that was the Problem tank you

@ubports-user Works fine with Vollaphone for me. Cant complain.

I am currently writing a Gemini protocol client for UT and have to import some python modules to get everything working. I use sys to add the libraries to path and was able to successfully import them after some tinkering. It seems like everything the applications needs to run is available to it even if I run it outside of the virtual environment, but if I run clickable desktop to test everything I run into an weird issue that causes the following syntaxerror:

Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Btw those are the additional modules I installed through pip3 in the venv

@abmyii I was able to import properly thanks.

@abmyii I uploaded the code on GH https://github.com/Aarontheissueguy/AGem its a frontend for the python gemini client Agunua.

@abmyii Thank you for the response. Yes I am working in a virtual environment. I added the lib and bin folder to the CmakeList and added them to path like this in Python:

import sys
sys.path.append('../bin')
sys.path.append('../lib')
import Agunua
from io import StringIO
import io

This still results in an error if I run clickable desktop though

Hello everyone Im a Mastadon user and recently found out about a group system on Mastadon called gup.pe It works surprisingly well and Is not as messy as Hashtags. I went ahead and created a LinuxOnMobile group(I have no admin rights or anything). I thought people here might be interested in joining the group.

Joining the group step by step

1. Follow @LinuxOnMobile@gup.pe
2. Tag @LinuxOnMobile in an (preferably) unlisted Toot
3. The toot will appear in the Group.

for more info check out https://gup.pe
