It is easy to begin programming for mobile devices with Python with demos and code samples from PyS60 open source applications using device features such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Camera. Python for S60 is Nokia's port of Python for the Series 60 platform, bringing the power and productivity of the Python programming language to S60 mobile devices from Nokia. Python for S60 enables rapid application prototyping and development for mobile devices and provides the ability to create installable, stand-alone S60 native UI applications using the application UI framework library. Tonight's Newbie Nugget is... Container Types, by Alex Martelli Container Types: Using the right one, and using it right! Python "out of the box" offers several container types, both built-in and in standard library modules, and many of these types offer a rich choice of methods and operators -- this is all great, but may make it hard for the newbie to pick the right container type, and use the right methods and operators on the chosen type. A 15-minute summary of this issue will hopefully be of help!
