Today, the new release of Python for S60 (PyS60 1.4.3) was spotted on sourceforge.net

The new release has some useful featured introduced for SMS and GPS and some bug fixes. 

The new release can be downloaded from sourceforge.net

The release notes for the release can be seen here 

Changes in 1.4.3 from 1.4.2:
* Added functionality to set the recipient name in messaging.sms_send().
* Added to the positioning module the last_position() function which fetches the last 
obtained position without powering up the GPS device.
* Increased the maximum length of the message that can be sent using messaging.sms_send()
to 39015 characters.

Corrected defects:
1891830: positioning.stop_position() does not shutdown GPS

833627: sms content is truncated to the first 256 characters

 The new release 1.4.3 is not officially announced on the Python discussion board yet,

 I guess it will be announced shortly. 

Hello All,

Many of you might be knowing me from the Forum Nokia Discussion boards (If not do look for my screen name - Croozeus , in the Python Forums particularty) . Since I started blogging here some months ago, you could read my previous blogs there. 

Well this is my 1st Blog entry and undoubtly I want to start it with PyS60

Last week I received an E90 from Forum Nokia as my Champions device (Thank You) I started working some things on Python on my new device.

I installed Python and the shell after getting it signed through open signed online (Pity I don't have a Dev Cert for my new device) I worked out few basic scripts to see how the device responed. Again Pity the E90 doesnt have an acceleromenter ! I ran some of my scripts on the device. However when I tried to install my application SwapProfile or any other application ,there I faced an error i had never seen when installing applications to any device "Cannot Install, Constrained by the certificate" and I was like, man, I have signed this through open signed and how come this error. I signed the application again and tried to install this but same error again. 

Then I reassembled and made the SIS file again and this time I struct what the problem was. This time I made the installation file using ensymble's selfsigned certificate, then signed the file using opensigned online and then installed. It installs perfectly but still I faced a BIG problem. The installed application doesn't run in any case. I cross checked with other people using the same device. My fellow champion friend Bogdan faced the same problems when installing any opensigned applications on the E90. Because of this we haven't been able to run any installed (opensigned) application. We can'nt still figure out what the problem was, I would like to see comments and opinions of other pys60 developers who might have have faced this problem or might know the reason for this. 

Lastly, to leave you with a Python stuff, have a look at Creepy Invaders Python Game.

Best Regards
