PyS60 enthusiast Croozeus breaks the news of another landmark test release of the next-gen version of Python for S60, v1.9.5. Significantly, this includes 'listbox' support for touch-screen devices, meaning that we're one step closer to a full v2.0 release that supports all recent S60 phones (touch and non-touch).  In other related news, there's heated discussion going on about Nokia's decision not to allow Python-coded applications in the new Ovi app store. 

I reckon Nokia should embrace v2.0 when it appears and start shipping it in device firmwares. Then, with security issues out the way, they could start accepting Python-written Ovi Store submissions.
