PyGame Virtual Keyboard for Maemo
Since I'm working on an application using Pygame for the Nokia n800 I was faced with a way of providing user input of text.Most games would simply... use the keyboard. Unfortunately for a touchscreen computer with no keyboard that kind of limits you. You can't simply use GTK widgets to display a text input box, because the screen is being rendered using SDL.
So, I developed a very simple touchscreen input virtual keyboard using pygame for the Maemo interface:
As you can see, it only does upper and lower case letters, space and numbers, which suits my needs just fine.
It's free, licensed under the GPL Version 2.
