python and symbian?

[PD]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any efforts to get python working
on the symbian platform? I've done a search and have turned up a
couple of links to projects on the symbian site, but these projects
appear to be long dead.
I personally prefer python to java and would love to find a python
alternative to j2me.


Just wondering.


thanks

This is what I have installed on my Revo:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/epocpython/

and it says the project has moved here where not much is happening

http://www.oflebbe.de/oflebbe/python/

Hopefully that'll work for you. There's no GUI, but it's much smaller
than Java.

Hi,
Yes, thats pretty much the only reference to python on the symbian
platform that I could find. While this is interesting I was hoping for
something for the version 6 OS, or even version 7 (I have a p800 you see).

Thanks

Paul.

Symbian OS is the OS of new generation mobile phones made by Nokia, Sony
Ericsson and so on
Symbian itself is a consortium endorsed by Nokia, Siemems, Sony Ericsson
Motorola et. al.

Some of the mobile phones with Symbian OS are Nokia 3650 and Sony Ericsson
P800

The OS ships with C++ SDK, Java and VB AFAIK

....and has its roots in EPOC, a very stable OS for Psion-PDAs (discontinued,
alas).

Not Erlang? I guess they (Ericsson) only use that for the exchanges,
then.

I think you are out of luck. I did the original port of Python to the Psion
5, so I have some idea of the issues involved. Unfortunately the
Epoc/Symbian environment isn't terribly friendly when porting applications
from other platforms, your best bet is probably to go with Jython.

Yup, at least AIUI.
