In my opinion it's not worth spending any time on Symbian, let alone PyS60. Symbian Foundation is on the decline, it has lost several supporters recently. Apple iOS, and Google Android have the most mind share in the smart phone world. Better you target these platforms. If you want something newer, try Windows Phone 7 ;-) > Will Python be useful for android or iphone development? Apple AppStore accepts apps which are written using Objective-C and official SDK only. There were some startups which tried to create a common programming environment for all major smart phone platforms but failed to get traction due to Apple's draconian policy of not allowing other dev tools on the AppStore. In addition to Java/Dalvik, Android supports several scripting languages, see http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/ In my opinion, it's best to go with the native tool chain for smart phone development or use HTML5/JS if applicable. - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
