Setting up Python tools into Fedora 6 Desktop

I am using Fedora Core 6 Respin version, which is Fedora 6 plus updates. Other recent linux versions should do also.

Use Add / Remove software tool in Fedora main menu
- click list tab
- select wxPython for installation
- select python-imaging-1.1.6-1.fc6.i386 for installation

Setting up s60 python tools

- download pys60-compat-04.tgz from pyS60-compat
- unpack pys60-compat-0.4.tgz
- copy *.py files from pys60-compat directory to your working directory.

Get some simple example S60 python script, for example bouncing ball script "ball.py". You can find at the end of pdf file Programming_with_Pys60_1_2.pdf

In the working directory run the pys60 bouncing ball example "ball.py".

[swuser@localhost sources]$ python ball.py

This example did run. The keyboard keys did not work and timing is not the same as in the phone, but otherwise quite good result. There was no need to touch the code at all in ball.py and some other pys60 examples.

Building standalone applications

If you want to compile your python script into a standalone application you can use ensymble tool set.
