Appendix D. How to Use the Emulator

You download the PyS60 Interpreter installation files from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60. You must download the correct version (for 2nd or 3rd Edition of S60). If you are not sure which one you need, check Table D.1 to find your phone model. You will also find a device overview at http://forum.nokia.com.

Here are the steps to take to use the emulator:

  1. Download and install the correct S60 Developer Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) which includes the emulator. The SDK can be found at Forum Nokia (http://forum.nokia.com).

  2. Download and install the Python plug-in that comes as part of the appropriate SDK file, which can be found on the SourceForge PyS60 project website (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60).

  3. Load your script into the emulator by copying your.py file to the appropriate folder (see the Python plug-in documentation).

  4. Open the emulator and start the Python application using the icon on the emulator's desktop window or a subfolder of it.

  5. Select Options, Run script. Choose your script from the list that appears and press OK. Your script should now start up.
