New Platform Security Tweaks Nokia's Python for S60 Application Development

The new platform security features in S60 3rd Edition required several changes to the whole Python for S60 framework. Without these modifications, S60 3rd Edition can't be supported by Python for S60. Find out how the new platform security features affect Python for S60, what one's development options will be, and how to perform native extending. This paper walks through a stand-alone installation. In essence, this type of installation makes Python applications no different from any native Symbian applications - a user cannot tell whether the app is Python or C++, though it is visible in the device main menu. One will also use a script shell, visible in the device menu, that enables a user to run individual Python scripts.
