Python for S60 1.3.11 released

Published by at

Nokia have announced an updated version of Python for S60. New in version 1.3.11 are keycapture and topwindow modules, support for SVG images (3rd Edition only) and support for both S60 2nd Edition and S60 3rd Edition in one release.

The previous version of Python for S60 only supported S60 3rd Edition so 1.3.11 is the first version to support both 2nd and 3rd Edition. A 1st Edition binary is not being distributed although it should be possible to compile one from the source code provided on SourceForge.

Python for S60 brings the power and productivity of the Python programming language to the S60 platform. The tools enable rapid application development and prototyping, and the ability to create stand-alone S60 applications written in Python.

The device installation package includes the Python interpreter (based on Python 2.2.2), select Python Standard Libraries, a script shell for launching Python scripts, a variety of native extensions, and a Python Console for interactive development. Python for S60 can also be added to S60 SDK's for PC-based development, testing, and creating application installers.

More information of Python for S60 is available on the official website and the Python for S60 Wiki
