Python for S60, also called PyS60—a term reminiscent of the Unix naming convention— was Nokia's port of the Python programming language to its S60 software platform, originally based on Python 2.2.2 from 2002.[1] The final version, PyS60-2.0.0, released on 11 February 2010 updated the Python core to version 2.5.4.[2]
Release history[edit]
First released in 2005, PyS60 featured a relatively small set of modules and functions. Version 1.2, the last closed source release and the second version of PyS60, brought many improvements and was made available on 21 October 2005 on Forum Nokia.
After becoming open source, PyS60 had the advantage of a strong and dedicated community that actively contributed to improving it. The milestone release was version 1.3.11.
The final version that supported the S60 2nd Edition platform, 1.4.5, was released on 3 December 2008. On 24 December 2008, a developer version, 1.9.0, was released. It featured several improvements, the most notable of which was a new core based on Python 2.5.1.
The final version, 2.0.0, was released on 11 February 2010. Its core is based on Python 2.5.4.[2]
