PyS60 gains touch support

6 replies · 2,317 views · Started 25 March 2009

It's definitely not a 'formal' release, but anyone with a penchant for fiddling with Python applications on S60 should note that there's now a build of Python for S60 that includes touch support. There's also an example 'Scribble' application, plus extra modules and easier installation. You can get PyS60 v1.9.3 here and here's hoping that a formal all-encompassing v2.0 release isn't far away. See the full change log here.

Link now fixed.

Incidentally, can someone explain why maemo.org is hosting a Symbian S60 project?

�Unable to install. Component is built-in�. On my 5800 XM. Firmware V 20.0.012. The message probably refers to "Symbian OS PIPS Upgrade"

Well, PyS60 project has been shifted to Maemo garage since the 1.9.0 release.

1.9.0 releases are the test releases to obtain feedback and improve the forthcoming v2.0 - I guess so it has been moved to the Maemo garage.

It was a convenient hosting site that we decided to move to after being disappointed with SourceForge's performance and finding no general Nokia Garage.

Ahaa... interesting. So maemo.org could become the default hosting site for Nokia open source projects?
