Nokia for Python (pys60)
Nokia has recently released the source code for its Python for S60 at Sourceforge.net. The source code is covered under Apache version 2 and Python open source license. This move will hopefully enable developers to learn and understand more about Nokia python implementations thus easing up module/extensions development.

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