Python App: When it crashes, is there a way to see any program output?

Aclock (draws analogue clock) [now removed?]
Zsys (mimics sys module)
Ztime (mimics time module)
Ztimer (shows elapsed time)

As mentioned already in the other thread (SW Libraray 0n Zsys), your app runs flawlessly in the virtual Prime in Win11 and also on a Prime G2.
As I stated elsewhere, the Android HP Prime App is buggy, read almost unusable.
A: No connectivity
B: On a Galaxy Tab S2 (Android 7.0) the app stops and disappears immediately after start
C: Aclock and Zsys run flawlessly elsewhere (G2, Virtual)

Even Piotr's simple proposed program crashes the App.
1. reset the Python App (in the App screen, focus on Python, reset)
2. type in that small code snippet
3. press Num
4. watch the HP Prime app disappear instantly
5. at least that program runs after restart of the Prime

Did I already mention quick and d... ?

For the time being, I'd recommend to not waste any time anymore with that expensive buggy software. Perhaps some time someone from Moravia checks their commercial software and understands that at least a minimum of quality control is necessary.

After all these reports of a buggy, incomplete product the Prime is, I think it's a blatant piece of impudence to publish cr*p like this for 24€.

Meanwhile less and less forgiving,

Hello,

Indeed, there are many problems with the firmware and especially with micropython.

But, not all is to be thrown away. Indeed, with the garbage collector functions of micropython, I was able to avoid a lot of pitfalls!

I implemented the garbage collector functions in the DwPrime software (bitmap software still in evolution) and which allowed to avoid big crashes or the exit of the program (info: put the heap and stack parameters to the max on the G2 for my software).

In short, we can do a lot of things on the hp prime g2 compared to the competition, especially thanks to its touch screen.

Too bad this calculator will not know a G3. Let's hope for a nice software evolution, but hey ...

I admit that if swissmicro makes us an equivalent touch machine one day, I will buy it right away.

Okay, I'll stop there.

See you soon.
