    v214 v215  
    2222'''Papywizard''' is a panohead control software, mainly developped for the ''Merlin/Orion'' astronomic mount, but usable for other panoheads with small effort.

    24 Papywizard is entirely written in python and, although developped under linux, should runs under many platformes (Windows/WindowsCE, MacOS, Unix...). It is especially designed to run on small plateforms, like PDA. Unfortunally, my tests under PocketPC showed that it is very difficult to develop on it. I bought a used [http://europe.nokia.com/A4145104 Nokia 770] Internet Tablet, and successfully ran Papywizard :o) Some guys successfully ran it on N800 and N810. So I concentrate my efforts on [http://www.maemo.org maemo] plateform... Another future solution will be to use [http://www.openmoko.com Openmoko] plateform, with the recently available ''!FreeRunner'' cellphone.

    26 Anyway, at this time, Papywizard successfully runs on PC/linux, Nokia/maemo, and PC/windows. It should run as well on MacOS, but nobody tried it yet (there is no pre-build PyGTK package for MacOS, so user must compile it).
     24Papywizard is entirely written in python and, although developped under linux, successfully runs on PC/linux, Nokia/maemo, PC/windows and MacOS (v1.9).

    2826This project is developped in collaboration with [http://www.kolor.com Kolor company], which develops [http://www.autopano.net Autopano Pro], a great stitcher software. Thanks to Alexandre and his team for their support!
     
    3028'''Papywizard is not a commercial project: I develop it on my free time, because it is fun. So, I don't make support for professional usage. This does not mean that it can't be used by pro photographers, but be aware that things can go wrong while shooting, and neither my responsability, nor Kolor one, can be engaged is such case.

    32 ''Note: the recent 1.6.0 stable release is probably the last one of the 1.x branch. Papywizard as reached a level I never expected; thanks to all users and contributors! But there are still many things we can do with such project, and Papywizard needs a deep code review to implement them in a correct way. So, it is time for a v2. The first step will be to switch to !PyQt toolkit. This will drop the support for the Nokia 770, which don't run Qt/PyQt, but no problem for the N800/N810. And it will add support for a lot of other platforms (including MacOS). The recent Nokia annoncement (which bought Trolltech, Qt company) to release Qt under LGPL ensures that Qt it is really a good choice for the future. So the first release of Papywizard v2 will certainly be the same as the 1.6, but using !PyQt instead !PyGtk. Then, I'll add new features. Stay tuned! ''
