Hi mates, i have skills at PHP proggraming, but i'm newbie to python...I installed python at my n80, and found a exaxmple application... I renamed it to file.py and by default opened with notes editor or something... Could you give me some links to lears basics at python, and how to run my python apps at my phone.

Hi m3m0r3xXx and welcome to the forum

If you need to learn the basis of Python (won't be too difficult with you PHP experience) you should read tutorials and code example at the following location:

• http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.2/ (Python tuto + library reference)
• http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Category:Python (PyS60 portal at forum nokia). Check the "Tutorials & Books" section for tutorials and the rich source code sections

Happy hacking!

I still can't get it.What to download to start... i downloaded:
Carbide.c++_v1.2.exe
S60_3rd_Ed_SDK_FP2_Beta_b.zip
but, still can't get it.

[jethro.fn]

Carbide.c++_v1.2.exe
S60_3rd_Ed_SDK_FP2_Beta_b.zip

These are not needed or even useful, if you don't plan to start creating C++ extension modules right away...

This is the bare minimum for getting started with PyS60:

From http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=154155:

• Install on the phone: PythonForS60_1_4_1_3rdEd.SIS
• Install on the phone: PythonScriptShell_1_4_1_3rdEd.sis
• Read: PythonForS60_1_4_1_doc.pdf
• Read: PyS60_3rdEd_README.txt (located inside pys60-1.4.1_src.zip)
• Read: release_notes_1_4_1.txt

Developing software with only these basic packages is quite cumbersome. 3rd Edition phones are unable to receive Python files as-is, so your only option is to copy files to the phone using USB or Bluetooth OBEX File Transfer. If you send a Python file to the phone using Bluetooth OBEX Object Push, the file will end up in the messaging application and this is a dead end.

So, for your comfort, these additional packages are recommended:

• Install on the phone: Ped, for editing files on the phone
• Install on your Windows/Mac/Linux computer: Ensymble, for making Symbian installation packages
• Install on your Windows/Mac/Linux computer: Python, if you already don't have it. Ensymble requires Python v2.2 or newer.

Using Ensymble, you can create Symbian installation packages (SIS files). These can be sent to the phone and installed. Python applications installed from SIS files behave like other native applications on the phone. They have their own icon, a language dependent name etc. SIS files generated by Ensymble still require PythonForS60_1_4_1_3rdEd.SIS to be installed on the phone, but there are ways to combine multiple SIS files into one (Ensymble "mergesis" command).

I consider creating SIS files so quick that I rarely edit files on the phone myself. In this case it helps to enclose the application in an exception harness such as this because by default, an exception in stand-alone application will only close the application without any error message.

All perfect! 10X!!! But i have little problem with The Ensymble developer utilities for Symbian OS
my script :

import appuifw

data = appuifw.query(u"Type a word:", "text")

appuifw.note(u"The typed word was: " + data, "info")

I write:

C:\Python25>python.exe ensymble_python2.5-0.24.py py2sis memo.py -r 1.0.0 -n v14
0 -l EN -i ICO.PNG -s "Memo APP"
ensymble_python2.5-0.24.py: warning: no UID given, using auto-generated test UID
 0xe74a6ca0
ensymble_python2.5-0.24.py: warning: no certificate given, using insecure built-
in one
ensymble_python2.5-0.24.py: no valid OpenSSL command line tool found in PATH

and it outputs .sis file ( 0bytes )

[jethro.fn]

ensymble_python2.5-0.24.py: no valid OpenSSL command line tool found in PATH

Ensymble requires OpenSSL, which is included on most Linux systems and Mac OS X. Windows users will have to download and install it separately. See this
discussion about installing Ensymble.

All good but what to add at the "Variable" path?

[jethro.fn]

Another thing: Ensymble only accepts SVG-T (vector) icons, because that is what 3rd Edition phones use. PNG files are not accepted.

All good but what to add at the "Variable" path?

If you downloaded openssl.zip from Stunnel.org, there are three files: libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll and openssl.exe. Put those in C:\OpenSSL\bin and add "C:\OpenSSL\bin" in front of the PATH environment variable. See what the PATH variable looks like and use the correct separator character between path elements. I don't remember what the character is, maybe semicolon? I use Windows only occasionally...
