Hmm. Python has been available for Symbian/S60 for at least five years. Surely there are interactive scripting environments on Windows Mobile as well. What makes ASE special?


Every time some new project comes along, the "what makes this project special" inevitably appears.

In this case, shouldn't it be "What makes Android special?", since ASE is a complementary addition?


Can you write Python/S60 programs on the phone's keyboard? (Honestly, I don't know)


I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not... The project's feature list mentions that there's a console for interactive development.

Of course Symbian is one of those old-fashioned operating systems with a user-accessible file system, so one can also just open a text editor, write a script, save it as a file and run it the PyS60 script shell.


Yes you can. It's a normal python interpreter.
