In order to run Python applications, you need to download Python runtime at Python for S60 page. Look for the file PythonForSeries60_for_2Ed_*.SIS (registration required). In addition, the Python for S60 SDK 1.2 is also available from the same website, sans registration.

p/s: I’m glad to hear that I can code mobile apps in python now, instead of J2ME (Java). :D
