Python for S60, also called PyS60—a term reminiscent of the Unix naming convention—is a port of the Python programming language developed by Nokia for its S60 software platform, originally based on Python 2.2.2 from 2002.[1] The final version, PyS60-2.0.0, was released on 11 February 2010. It came with multiple improvements, the most notable of which was an update to a new core based off of Python 2.5.4.[2]

Release history

Python Shell on Nokia 6120 Classic

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 the Nokia Forums.

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]
