Matt Croydon posts about extending the Python implementation on the Symbian Series 60 phones. I played with the implementation briefly last night and it's very nice. Well done Nokia! Scripts can be run a number of ways: You can send Python scripts to the phone and run them. Type them in via the phone keypad in a running interpreter instance (not very practical I admit). Via bluetooth, GPRS or some other connection, connect to the phone interpreter from your PC and type and test code from there. Some good documentation is included along with an API reference for the phone functions and quite a few examples. This gives me some ideas on how to progress my Io language port and to get other language implementations running. What would really be nice is to be able to see the source to the Python port to help with getting other languages running on the system. 11:17:15 AM
