The PythonS60 Script Shell application is installed in your Symbian S60 phone to allow running short Python commands typed from the phone keyboard.

You can also use the PyS60 Script Shell to run scripts pre-loaded to phone memory or SD disc, and also to connect the application to a computer via the Bluetooth serial interface emulator to use the computer's keyboard and console screen to type commands and receive console (text) output.

Installation

Please refer to the PyS60 installation page for instructions.

Important note for 3rd edition phone users

Certain PyS60 services (such as the location service, which require the Location, ReadUserData and ReadDeviceData capabilities) are capability-dependent, which means that all applications using these services must inherit the capabilities themselves. In other words: if the location.gsm_location() call keeps returning "None" when using the PyS60 Script Shell in a 3rd edition phone, please consider using a SIS signing service such as the Symbian Signed.

  1. Download the SIS packages as described in this Section.
  2. Sign the SIS package of PythonScriptShell for your phone, and install this instead of the (unsigned) package. Please note that, if you've signed the PythonScriptShell package Open Signed Online service, the signed file will only install in the phone with the IMEI code you've specified in that page form.
