Mobile python - Installing Python for S60 on 3rd Edition Devices

Installing Python for S60 on 3rd Edition Devices
2.1.1 Download the Installation Files
The first task is common to all platforms. You need to download
two installation files from the Internet to your computer and then
to the phone. You find them at SourceForge’s PyS60 project page,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60. There are many versions of files
available on that website. The two files that you need are the PyS60
interpreter and the user interface (Python Script Shell) for the PyS60
interpreter.
The file names consist of three components:
• the name
• the version number, for example, 1.4.0 (make sure you choose the
latest version, that is, the largest number)
• the edition number (in this case, 3rdEd).
Assuming that version 1.4.0 is the latest version, you will download
PythonForS60 1 4 0 3rdEd.SIS (the PyS60 interpreter) and
PythonScriptShell 1 4 0 3rdEd.SIS (the user interface). Both
files have undergone the signing process that is required for 3rd Edition
devices (see Appendix A for more information regarding signing).

We have divided the following descriptions into separate sections for
• Windows users, see Section 2.1.2
• Mac users, see Section 2.1.3
• Linux users, see Section 2.1.4.
For each operating system, we have included a complete description
of how to install PyS60 and how to write and execute your first script.
