Comment 6 for bug 308014

About my previous comment: change "worst" by "worth" please :-)

More thoughts:
I'm thinking to use Babiloo desktop "parsers" to read different dictionaries format and generate a simple format for the Nokia S60. Python in Nokia is a bit old version, doesn't have all modules, Nokia is not as fast as a desktop machine, etc.

We could maybe generate a Pickle object (dictionary) to with all entries and definition by each dictionary. We could use this dictionary to get a list and populate the selection_list, or maybe have the dictionary and a simple list (to be faster populating the list).

Or not use pickle and use a text representation of the list and eval it. I prefer Pickle.

The file words.dat that I used contains 8000 words and it's fast (to load and to use the autocompletion search).

Cheers,
