    python and symbian?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone knew of any efforts to get python working
    on the symbian platform? I've done a search and have turned up a
    couple of links to projects on the symbian site, but these projects
    appear to be long dead.
    I personally prefer python to java and would love to find a python
    alternative to j2me.


    Just wondering.


    thanks

    This is what I have installed on my Revo:



    and it says the project has moved here where not much is happening



    Hopefully that'll work for you. There's no GUI, but it's much smaller
    than Java.

        Hi,
        Yes, thats pretty much the only reference to python on the symbian
        platform that I could find. While this is interesting I was hoping for
        something for the version 6 OS, or even version 7 (I have a p800 you see).

        Thanks

        Paul.

          Symbian OS is the OS of new generation mobile phones made by Nokia, Sony
          Ericsson and so on
          Symbian itself is a consortium endorsed by Nokia, Siemems, Sony Ericsson
          Motorola et. al.

          Some of the mobile phones with Symbian OS are Nokia 3650 and Sony Ericsson
          P800

          The OS ships with C++ SDK, Java and VB AFAIK

            ....and has its roots in EPOC, a very stable OS for Psion-PDAs (discontinued,
            alas).

              Not Erlang? I guess they (Ericsson) only use that for the exchanges,
              then.

                I think you are out of luck. I did the original port of Python to the Psion
                5, so I have some idea of the issues involved. Unfortunately the
                Epoc/Symbian environment isn't terribly friendly when porting applications
                from other platforms, your best bet is probably to go with Jython.

                  Yup, at least AIUI.

                  This makes it possible to pass complex object hierarchies to
                  a C coder who thinks computer science has made no worthwhile
                  advancements since the invention of the pointer.
