This article will walk you 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. You'll also use a script shell, visible in the device menu, that enables a user to run individual Python scripts.
Author's Note: This article introduces Python for S60 on S60 3rd Edition. The process described is not applicable to Python for S60 running on either S60 1st or 2nd Editions and the developers using these platforms are not affected in any way.
