I am writing a program that uses the Palm handheld as a sort of input device. However, the code that communicates with it thru the serial port locks the port up, so if the user initiates a HotSync on the device, the operation fails. I would like to have a setup where the user presses a button on my Palm application to initiate a HotSync and then continue with the Python program.
It would go like this: user presses special button on Palm, computer closes Python/Palm connection, HotSync is executed by Python program, computer reopens Python/Palm connection. I know how to get the program to wait for a process to finish, but I'm having trouble initiating a HotSync through Python. While poking around the Palm Desktop and HotSync system files, I found a DLL called "HSAPI" with the title "HotSync API", but I'm not sure if this is what I need. There is no HotSync COM type library in my PythonWin COM browser. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
