Overview
Little tool to write notes using pen and touchscreen.
This program is written in Python using pygtk. It can be used only if those are present in your environment (see PyPenNotes#Environment).
Current Features
- Change color and size of pen
- Change background color (even on used notebook pages)
- Undo
- Save and Restore
- Using the file ~/.penNotes.strokes_data
- You may symlink that to your SD-Card if you like...
- As many Notes as you like
- (1-9999, or no RAM left ;-) )
- 200 simple Notes may take about 10 MByte (should be less with Version 0.3 - so this is a vague estimate)
Planned Features
- Manage different notebooks (choose place to save them)

Bugs
On my device it can't start because there is a bug in pygtk: line 82 of /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk2.0/gtk/__init__.py change init() to _init()
Installation
The following Om 2008.8 packages will have to be installed (source packages: python python-pygtk python-pycairo python-pygobject) (For Om 2007.2 you can use the ScaredyCat packages from Repositories.):
python-core python-misc python-lang python-pygtk python-distutils
Until there is an IPK for pyPenNotes, you may want to create a desktop icon manually.
Extract the files to a directory you wish (in the following example we use /media/card/install/pyPenNotes-0.3b/ directory).
Create the desktop file:
/usr/share/applications/pypennotes.desktop
With content:
[Desktop Entry] Version=0.3 Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=pyPenNotes Comment=Pen notes Exec=python /media/card/install/pyPenNotes-0.3b/pyPenNotes.py Icon=drm/Drm.png Categories=Application;Multimedia; Terminal=false
