I am trying to create a small application for Symbian mobile phones using Python. Being a beginner i am having some trouble in setting up the environment for development. I installed Symbian3 SDK,PyS60 Application Manager ( for creating the .sis files to be installed on phones) and python 2.5.2 . I created a small hello world program and created its equivalent .sis file. But when i try to install it in Symbian 3 SDK, it gives me a 'Python Run time Error' ; i suppose it is because there isnt any python installed on the SDK. But when i tried to install the PythonForS60.sis file, it gives me a certificate error. I tried downloading the file through SDK, again it gives me a certificate error. I tried certifying the application through SymbianSigned.com, then it gives this error "The .sis file contains capabilities that are not permitted for Open Signed (Online) FAILURE: Submitted .sis file uses a UID that is not allocated to the account holder matching this email address (0x20022ee8 ) FAILURE: Submitted .sis file uses a UID that is in protected range and is not allocated to the account holder matching this email address (0x20022ee8)" . Can somebody help me to solve this..??
Open Application Manager on your Symbian phone, go to settings and select Software installation. Change it from Signed to All. This will allow you to install applications which don't have a certificate, such as the SIS file you just packaged.
Also note that PythonForS60 2.0 works only with Python 2.5.
