Nokia released a port of the popular scripting language Python back in 2005 in an attempt to stimulate development for the S60 platform and provide a way of rapidly prototyping apps.
Since then, the language has really taken off with amateur developers. Its easy to learn and there are several powerful libraries of code around that make it relatively easy to write apps that use advanced features like the Nokia N95’s accelerometer.
One developer, Ariek, has made a name for himself writing apps that make ‘interesting’ use of this particular feature. We have previously covered his spirit-level hack pyPoziomica, but he is also responsible for the mobile magic trick pyMoneta, which has to be seen to be believed.
More usefully, pyGenerator is a simple speaker testing app and ListSMS lets you export your text messages to a text file.
Here is a look at perhaps his most useless app to date - pyPiwo, the ‘beer generator’.
