Hachoir Python Implementation on Blackberry

Question

I need to implement the Hachoir libraries to parse through image files (the meta-data in them). My project requires this to be done on a Blackberry device, hence that would mean I will have to port the entire Hachoir library to Blackberry.

The other thing I could do is to, write python scripts (which utilizes the Hachoir libraries) and find a way to call these scripts from the Blackberry. I read that it is possible to call python scripts using NDK on Android. Is there a similar tool for Blackberry?

So in the end I will have to install hachoir(??) on the phone, call the scripts through the "NDK equivalent tool", capture the output again through this tool and display it to the user.

Any suggestions on the tools to be used and the method in general? Are there any other suggestions for hachoir like libraries on Java? Thanks!

Answer 1

Peter Hansen has Python running native on the BB playbook. See this link.

Answer 2

Or you can write your own script using the python app, and then port it (if needed) to peter's framework (which is very cool too) http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/32880889/
