Acaba de ser liberado una nueva actualización de Python para S60 “PyS60 1.9.5” basado en Python 2.5.4.

PyS60 1.9.5 soporta dispositivos con Symbian S60 3rd edition, S60 3rd edition FP1, S60 3rd edition FP2 y S60 5th edition.

Lista de cambios:
- Added an option to package the application sis as bycode or source code.
- Default heapsize for PyS60 applications is increased to 100k,4M from 4k,1M
- Added an option “Continue with missing dependencies”.
- Many defects are fixed with this release. Refer release notes for more details.
- There is an additional dependency to the OpenC libraries, which must be installed for the runtime to work.
- Sadly, S60 2.x devices are not supported by the new code-base, and never will be. This is because OpenC libraries aren’t available for S60 2.x.
- Binary compatibility between 1.9.x versions isn’t guaranteed until 2.0. We won’t break it without good reason, but it can happen.
- API compatibility of new sensor module isn’t guaranteed until 2.0. We won’t break it without good reason, but it can happen.

Ya se encuentra disponible Python 1.9.4 para móviles Symbian S60 como el Nokia 5800 XpressMusic y Samsung 5800. Entre las novedades se incluye el soporte para pantalla completa en los dispositivos touchscreen. También incluye un único paquete firmado en tiempo de ejecución (para la edición 3 y 5)

PyS60 1.9.4 Changelog
- A single Nokia signed runtime package which can be installed on all S60 3rd ED and above devices is available.(size with dependencies=2.8MB, actual size if runtime ~1MB)
- Mejor empaquetador de aplicación: The PyS60 application packager now scans the Python application being packaged and picks up the missing Python modules on which the application is dependent and packages them along with the application files.
- Despliegue de tiempo de ejecución más fácil: Python runtime and its dependent components can be installed by just running any Python application packaged using 1.9.4 application packager. (Only available from S60 3rd edition FP2 devices onwards with latest firmware)
- Dos nuevas APIs agregados al módulo de socket -- access_points() and set_default_access_point() which have similar functionality to the APIs present in btsocket module.
- Dos nuevas APIs  agregados al módulo e32 -- get_capabilities() and has_capabilities(). The former can be used to get the capabilities, the application has been signed with, and the latter to check if a given list of capabilities is granted to the application or not.
- Nuevo modo a appuifw.app.screen -- ‘full_max’ which can be used to achieve fullscreen on devices that don’t have Left Soft Key and Right Soft Key(e.g.: Nokia 5800).

S60 Resource Cleanup es un script desarrollado en Python que nos permite borrar recursos de ayuda e idiomas de nuestro Nokia S60 3Ed, con ello incrementar el espacio de nuestra memoria.

Requiere tener CapsOn y CapsOff, interprepete y Shell Python para S60.

Para su instalación descargar y copiar rescleanup.py en la carpeta c:\python (o e:\python) del celular, habilitar el CapsOff, abrir el Python Shell y correr el script.

Quizá les parezca raro leer sobre sobre Python en mis anotaciones , pero desde que tengo un teléfono móvil con sistema operativo Symbian y además exista un intérprete Python para SymbianOS he decidido aprender este fabuloso lenguaje de programación. sobre todo la tendencia del mercado se dirige hacia los Scripting Language.

Hoy se lanzó Python 3.0 también conocido como “Python 3000” o “Py3K”. los principales cambios son:

- Fixes to many old language warts
- Removal of long deprecated features and redundant syntax
- Improvements in, and a reorganization of, the standard library
- Changes to the details of how built-in objects like strings and
dicts work

- Descargar Python 3.0 código fuente
- Descargar Python 3.0 Windows x86 MSI Installer
- Descargar Python 3.0 Windows x86 MSI Installer

En los móviles Nokia S60 es posible ejecutar aplicaciones escritas en Python gracias al intérprete Python for S60 o PyS60. Es por ello que se considera imprescindible tenerlo instalado en nuestro Nokia S60. El PyS60 está basado en Python 2.2.2.

El megaPyModulePack v2.01 contiene módulos, librerías y extensiones de Python necesarias para el desarrollo y funcionamiento de aplicaciones que requieran de ella.
python1.45 and megaPyModulePack v2.01

Instalación:
- Desinstalar alguna versión anterior del Python e instalar Python1.45.sis
- Desinstalar alguna versión anterior megaPyModulePack
- Desinstalar el N95 RD Accelerometer, específicamente el N95AccelerometerPlugin.sis
- Instalar el MegaPyModulePack.v2.01.sis

Nota:
Recomendable verificar y desinstalar los módulos que forman parte del megaPyModulePack antes de proceder a su instalación, de lo contrario será imposible un resultado satisfactorio. Para ello ir Menú – aplicaciones – Administrador de aplicaciones.
