Introduction

The small code snippet below shows how to stop an active GPRS connection manually. This is a very useful code snippet when we are developing applications related to networking in PyS60. The access point (access_point) object of the socket module mainly serves three purposes:

• We can know the phones IP address.

• We can start a GPRS connection and select a default Access point.

• We can stop or disconnect manually an active GPRS connection. The Code for this function is given below:

Code Snippet

#imports the Module (Python 1.4.5)
import socket   
from appuifw import *
 
def sel_access_point():
    """ Select and return the access point or None (error)
    """
    aps = socket.access_points()
    if not aps:
        note(u"No access points available","error")
        return None
 
    ap_labels = map(lambda x: x['name'], aps)
    item = popup_menu(ap_labels,u"Access points:")
    if item is None:
        return None
 
    apo = socket.access_point(aps[item]['iapid'])
 
    return apo
 
ap = sel_access_point()
 
if ap:
    ap.start()  # start an GPRS connection
    print "IP:", ap.ip()
    ap.stop()   # stops an GPRS connection
