Python for S60
Python Home Page Python for S60 is Nokia's port of the Python language to the S60 smartphone platform. In addition to the standard features of the Python language, PyS60 provides access to many of the phone's uniquely smartphone-y functions, such as camera, contacts, calendar, audio recording and playing, TCP/IP and Bluetooth communications and simple telephony.
Installation
Since we are using the lovely N80 phones provided by Nokia - we'll need to download the following files:
- PythonForS60_1_3_13_SDK_3rdEd for Series60 3rd Edition phones like N80, N91, N93.
- PythonScriptShell_1_3_13_3rdEd
- API Documentation
Bluetooth these to your N80 and install them ahead of time.
