> 170 Python packages for MeeGo Harmattan
 

The Python Harmattan Wiki lists :

- the packages from Nokia's repositories, where there are more than 150 (was 70) Python packages (type in Terminal 'apt-cache search python') or about 240 (was 170), including Python 2.5 and 3.1, if Harmattan-SDK repository is activated (by installing the Harmattan-repository deb). These Nokia's packages can be used as dependencies by other softwares or installed using '# apt-get install <packagname>'. Among them : IPython, NumPy, PyGame, Python Imaging Library (PIL), etc.

- community packages not present in Nokia's repositories. For example : IPython 0.10.2, SymPy, MatPlotLib, etc.

With these Python modules/packages, for example you can manipulate images, create stunning 2D & 3D plots, make numerical and symbolical (derivatives, integrals, etc) calculations, etc.

Python+IPython+SymPy+NumPy+MatPlotLib are being used in many universities all over the world because they are free, multiplataform and give almost 100% of the features of large and expensive CAS (Computer Algebra System) softwares like Mathematica, Maple, MatLab, etc.

These Python packages are only available on Maemo 5 and MeeGo Harmattan (besides Windows, Linux and MacOS). Yeah, Maemo & MeeGo are the best mobile OS for using Python.

assume the above is applicable to n900 too

Re: > 170 Python packages for MeeGo Harmattan
 

Yes, Maemo 5 has more community Python packages, mainly released in 2010. Many N900 softwares are written in Python, many Python packages has about 100 k downloads. The list of Maemo 5 Python packages gives almost 500 packages/softwares !

But many users of the MeeGo Harmattan are not aware of the huge Python package collection available since day one of the Nokia N9/N950. Let's show the Python power inside each Nokia N9/N950 !

Updated the counting of Python packages on MeeGo Harmattan : more than 240 with Harmattan-SDK repository enabled, about 150 without it. Both cases including my Harmattan repository.

Updated 1st post.
