(lambda x:
    if not x: print 0
    else:
      for y in x:
        print x) # error

Instead, you must use comprehensions to loop, short circuit operators to perform conditionals, etc:

  (lambda x:
    sys.__stdout__.write("0\n")
    if not x else
    sum((sys.__stdout__.write("%s\n"%y),0)
        for y in x)

The latter is decidedly suboptimal.

thanks for sharing.

To do my own stuff I would like to ask how you did this pocketmods. It would be nice if you could tell some things about it. I wonder if you used Latex to set this up, or is it something else?

Thanks in advance

Wikipedia [here] indicates that the Kindle ebook format uses HTML, so there’s a remote possibility that you could compile a kindle book containing embedded scripts and do something useful; however, you’ll be going through the e-reader application then, not the browser. Even if it worked, there might not exist any workable mechanism for text input.

For now, I’ve been dropping my app onto my public dropbox folder. I have the url bookmarked on the kindle so it’s easy to refresh. I really wish they would open it up though; e.g. permitting self-contained HTML files to be loaded (using data urls, embedding all necessary scripts, etc.)

I also applied for Amazon’s KDK program, but never heard a word from them apart from a confirmation email. The Kindle’s a nice toy and I’ve been wanting to hack something for it for a while now.

Do you know if the kindle’s browser can run content directly from the kindle’s storage? If yes then it would be a substitute for the kdk.
