	       Series 60 Compatibility

These modules are intended to enable running of many Python for Series 60 scripts on the desktop. They are based on wxPython.

• appuifw.py - S60 application user interface framework.
• e32.py - Symbian OS utilities.
• graphics.py - 2D graphics primitives.
• key_codes.py - constants required by the appuifw module.

This software requires wxPython 2.5.3.1 or later, with Unicode support. It has been tested on Mac OS X 10.4 (which includes wxPython 2.5.3.1), on Linux (with wxPython built from sources -- see below), and on Windows (some time ago, sorry). The graphics module has mainly only been tested on Linux.

After you have added this directory to your PYTHONPATH, you can try out some of the example scripts included with Python for S60 (available at http://forum.nokia.com/python/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60/):

• python weather_info.py
• python SMS_example.py
• python rssreader.py
• python ball.py
• python snake.py

On Mac OS X, you need to use the "pythonw" command instead of "python".

Here is how we built wxPython for Linux:

cd wxPython-src-2.5.3.1 # Better to use 2.6.x nowadays. mkdir bld

cd bld ../configure --enable-unicode make sudo make install

cd ../wxPython python setup.py build CORE_ONLY=1 UNICODE=1 sudo python setup.py install CORE_ONLY=1 UNICODE=1
