[Baypiggies] Python available on Nokia Devices since 2005

PyS60 is built on a Python 2.2 base.  You can run a bluetooth console
(like Screen on the Mac) to interact with your phone in real time.
There some some emulator options as well.   One imports specialized
packages for access to the S60 app etc.

Deploying on the phone is a bit tricky.  You need to sign the app to
access certain features.   If you want to deploy on more than some
enumerated number of phones, you join the developer program.  The line
of what is 'free and open source', 'free to make only GPL
applications', 'closed but gratis', and 'not free' is a bit blurry and
perhaps intentionally confusing.   There are various bundling options,
such as an equivalent of Py2exe, and these options each have their own
challenges (read bugs).

There is also a specialized version of C/C++ called Open C/C++.
Apprently, some features are only avaliable in Python and some are
only available in Open C/C++.

It's an odd world.
