Bootstrap Python Dev Environment on Symbian Phone

I wanted to get a dev env for python on my nokia e61. What I had in mind was an editor that I could use to type up python code on the phone which I could then run using the nokia python interpreter. Installing the python sis file from nokia was easy. The hard part was finding something to edit files in e:\Python. In the end I came across "easyedit" on the nokia forums. The sis file is at:

It installed quite nicely. My little script of:


import appuifw

f = appuifw.Form([])
appuifw.title = 'dave'
title = appuifw.app.title
appuifw.note(u'ERE IAM JH\n' + title, 'info')

...works a treat.
