Hi,

I have just added a piece of lines to the code and it solved the IOError problem.

from line 130-137 in sisinfo.py:

os.makedirs(path) try: newFile = file(path + os.sep + parts[len(parts) - 1], "wb") newFile.write(self.fileDatas[f.fileIndex].findField(sisfields.CompressedField)[0].data) newFile.close() except IOError, (errno, strerror): print "I/O error(%s): %s" % (errno, strerror) for s in self.signatureCertificateChains :

Take care with the idents (TABS)!

Hope this helps

I'm also using Python 2.5 on Windows and the latest version of SisInfo, but get the error shown in the previous post.

I am having trouble installing this tool.

I am brand spanking new to python and don't know why I am getting file not found errors and permission denied errors.

This is what I have tried:

placing the folder "sisinfo" in the python directory and in the lib directory. I also extracted the sysinfo.py and setup.py files and put them in both the python directory and in the lib directory. Just to keep things simple I went ahead and placed the object file "file.sisx" into the python directory so that I could call python without changing directories or altering my Windows "PATH" variable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

V0.5 works much better, thanks very much. I tested on 3-4 sis files. -e option worked fine on all except one. The one it failed on gave error below:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\sisinfo\sisinfo.py", line 201, in <module> handler.execute(options) File "C:\Program Files\sisinfo\sisinfo.py", line 130, in execute newFile = file(path + os.sep + parts[len(parts) - 1], "wb") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'C:\\Temp\\sisinfo_test\\out\\*.*'

I have updated the sisinfo tool to version 0.5. In version 0.4 there were problems with unicode strings and it sometimes produced the error message reported above when extracting files. I fixed the error and the version 0.5 is available: http://www.niksula.cs.hut.fi/~jpsukane/sisinfo.html

The -i option works fine, but -e option gives error below? Why? Have tried with a couple different SISX files each of which give same error. Thanks.

Works here perfectly. I just tried with Python 2.5 for Win and the latest version from the SISInfo homepage.

To use the sisinfo.py tool, you have to have python installed and somewhere in your PATH variable. To inspect a sis-file, you have to start command prompt and issue for example command "python sisinfo.py -f sisfile.sisx -i" (without the quotes).

Hi Pawel, thanks for the improvement idea. I will implement support for generating the pkg-file as soon as I have time for it.

Meanwhile, check the version 0.2 of the tool http://www.niksula.cs.hut.fi/~jpsukane/sisinfo.html. The new version has support for printing certificate information of the sis file.

(I could not find a way to update the article, is I posted update information like this...)

Hello Jari,

A quick suggestion for a small improvement that would make the scripts significantly more useful:

Add a feature where a PKG file is generated from the SISX file - this would make the scripts immensly more useful in verification testing and prototyping.

Thanks in advance, Pawel

There are plenty of utilities to extract the contents of a SIS file from the pre Symbian 9.1 SIS files. However, I could not find that kind of tool for the new SISX file format. So, I wrote a small python utility that is able to parse the SIS file, print some information about its contents and extract the contained files.
