Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development.
It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days.
Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code.
PyS60 is the 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 uniquely Smartphone functions, such as camera, contacts, calendar, audio recording and playing, TCP/IP and Bluetooth communications and simple telephony.
It's open source, under Apache 2 and Python licenses.
The release is officially Nokia signed. The capabilities for the PythonForS60 component are "ALL -TCB -DRM -AllFiles", so the DLLs are usable with almost all applications as is and thus there is no longer a need for a separate unsigned-freedevcert version of this package.
The script shell package is signed with the user-grantable capability set (ReadUserData WriteUserData NetworkServices LocalServices UserEnvironment). If you need more capabilities, you need to obtain a devcert and sign the unsigned_testrange script shell package with it. The UID for unsigned_testrange script shell package is updated with untrusted range (0xE0000000...0xEFFFFFFF)
