I would like to build some apps using edje and python. Could you give me some direction on how to get that going under the maemo-sdk? I installe d the packages under the ARMEL environment and they do not seem to run your demos. I prefer not to develop on the device it self since I only have the one N800. Thanks, John Gustavo,
