Hello all

This is my first blog so just a small introduction my name is Gargi Das. I am a final year engineering student and working on mobile applications since past two years. I also run a website with the help of my prof. Kiran Trivedi who is also a forum nokia champion, the site contains contain tutorials on making applications with PyS60. Presently apart from making applications in Python i am also working on the web run time technology. I guess thats much about me, now coming back to the main point.  

This is just to inform the PyS60 developers and fans that the PyS60 1.9.1 is released.

This release runs on the S60 3rd edition, 3rd FP1, 3rd edition FP2 and in S60 5th edition devices also. 

The important thing in this relaese is that the they have included the Zip files for SDKs. Which will help a lot in application development.

Now what 1.9.1 release have:

- The startup time and installation time are more optimized as compared to the earlier 1.9.0 release.

- All the Python files in the runtime sis are compiled into .pyc files and included in a zip file. sys.path is updated with the    path of this zip file. This reduced the interpreter startup time considerably.

- A more generic error message is displayed when trying to load an application without the PyS60 Dependencies installed.

 The targets for the final 2.0 release can be read from the announcement link on the Python Discussion boards.

Best regards

Gargi Das
