Python for Series 60 incredible link

A very interesting links for who wants to program in Python for Series 60:

Among several tools and programs, the most interesting one (for me, at least) is the S60 UI emulator, so you can test your program even without a phone or the SDK. It is not beautiful but does its job, and I could run my pet project inside it very fast.

A bit of background here. Since S60 is so different from regular computers in the UI, you can not use regular UI libraries, instead you must use the "appuifw" and "e32" modules, that exist nowhere but in phone or in the SDK. The S60 "emulator" offers appuifw/e32 modules with the same interface but implemented over wxPython, which is a standard UI library.

I could find a couple defects: not having a ESelectKey (which my application makes use of) and the Date field in form showed a numeric timestamp instead of a real date. But these are minor problems that someone will send patches for, in single time.

With time we will probably see more emulation modules like graphics, camera and etc.

Upgrade the emulation module with this one : better keycodes and a new graphics module
