Desktop file for my Python script

Question

I would like to make a .desktop file for my Python script, but so far the only thing i have is a clickable icon on my desktop! It does nothing when I click it, so im guessing there is something wrong with the execution :)

The desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Python
Exec=/home/user/MyDocs/Python/EasySteer/Main.py
Name=EasySteer
Icon=steering_wheel
X-Icon-Path=/usr/share/icons

and I also tried:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/xterm "python /home/user/MyDocs/Python/EasySteer/Main.py"
Name=EasySteer
Icon=steering_wheel
X-Icon-Path=/usr/share/icons

But nothing works :D if it matters this is for my Nokia N900 mobile phone that runs Maemo linux, but I think the basics are the same.

Answer 1

[Desktop Entry]
Name=EasySteer
Icon=steering_wheel
Type=Application
Exec=/home/user/MyDocs/Python/EasySteer/Main.py
Terminal=true

Adding Terminal=true should cause the default terminal emulator to be opened.
