2.6. Summary
Jumping head first into hands-on action, we showed you in this chapter how to write your first script with PyS60 and how to run it on your S60 mobile phone. We covered the basic steps to do this:
Download the installation files from the Internet.
Install the downloaded .SIS files to your phone.
Write a Python script on your computer.
Upload your Python script to the phone.
Test your script on the phone.
In Section 2.3, we programmed our first PyS60 application with three lines of code. We hope this example got you excited to discover all the great things you can do with PyS60. By continuing with a practical hands-on approach, we guide you through the next chapter, helping you to unfold your creativity and enabling you to program applications based on your own ideas.
If you feel really bold and adventurous now, you can see an alternative approach for updating PyS60 scripts on the phone over a network connection in Section 10.3.3. For some developers, this might be the most productive way to use PyS60. If you want to see even more nifty tricks that PyS60 can do, Appendix B tells you how to use the PyS60 interpreter remotely on your PC over Bluetooth.
