This might be a newbie question, I'm trying to get this working on Windows, and I keep getting a Cos "no module named appsswitch "
I try dropping the package into my base_py folder, as well as sites-lib, I don't however have the e32 module is not a required dependency? Or is that just for using this on a Nokia\New-Line thanks
