Nokia announce S60 5th Edition and along comes support for OpenC/C++, Flash Lite, Java, etc. But, where's Python for S60 5th Edition? We've just started research into using Python on S60 but I'm a little disconcerted that there is little news on Python for S60 5th edition.
I know Nokia intend to promote languages like Python for RAD purposes but they are not showing it at present.

According to this document:

Python for S60 applications are able to make use of the UI enhancements in S60 5th Edition, with more screen real estate and touch interaction enabling users to more easily and intuitively navigate Python scripts and applications. (Note that Python does not support the processing of raw touch events.) The on-screen keyboard also is available for text and data entry.

So apparently S60 5th edition will not have an Earth-shattering impact on PyS60, but it will have new cool features. And trust me, there are plans to improve PyS60 a lot in the next 1-2 (that's all I can say due to NDA)

hi scopesoft

First of all a warm welcome to the forum nokia python discussion boards.
I would also support bogdan and will urge you to be bit patience as earlier in one thread jplauril has already mentioned that there is going to be a new release soon which will be be based on the python 2.5.

So we all require a bit of patience and will sure get something new and exciting.

Hope for the best
Enjoy Pythoning

Thanks for your response. I'm currently working at Sony Ericsson in the Smartphone products using Symbian and from what we've discovered about PyS60 it provides complete Symbian novices to produce working applications within a day. A true RAD tool. Most of our team are very interested in using PyS60 for automatic testing and reporting of on-phone applications.
Just a little disappointed that Nokia didn't see fit to put it alongside langauges such as Java and Open C.

hi scopesoft
you are absolutely correct that python is a great platform to develop rapid mobile applications.
But dont be disappointed i am hoping that we all PyS60 developers will soon get some good news about our best programming language.

Enjoy Pythoning

PyS60, in its current incarnation, is not mature enough. But we all expect the situation to improve shortly. Please search this forum about "Python 2.5".

The same thing which happened with Leisure Suit Larry 4

Haha, I remember that. I was a big fan of all those games as a kid. Also Microsoft Word skipped from 2 to 5 in order to keep up with WordPerfect. But I still wonder why Nokia skipped 4. I guess because it's bad luck in some superstitious cultures.

Found the following on the wiki:

It seems that at least for the SDK, you can use Pys60 for 3rd...

Hi Rahul,

If you wish that people read your article please link to it.

Also, using BIG LETTERS is considered very rude. If you want to give a friendly image of yourself I do not recommend doing it.

Cheers,
Mikko
