Want to write an application for your smartphone but don’t have the C++ knowledge required or want to write in another language (or perhaps you know Python already and want to utilitize your knowledge)? Why not use Python? For all Series 60 (S60) enabled smartphones Nokia has released a runtime and shell interpreter for Python that let’s you write your own Python scripts / applications with a bit more ease than writing it in C++.
The Python package for the S60 are called “PyS60″ and this can be downloaded from Sourceforge.net [Link]
Look at this page called Mobilenin for some pyS60 tutorials. [Link]
The pyS60 tutorials are written by Jurgen Scheible and are easy to follow to create some nice python application examples.
Jurgen Scheible had a presentation at my university about a year ago, where he talked about Python for the Series 60 phones. He also showed some examples and let the attendants write some simple test applications. It’s worth to take a look at, if you would like to write a program in a different language than C++ or Java :-)
Have fun!
