What is Harmattan Python?

The Harmattan Python project maintains a set of packages necessary to run and develop Python applications on the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan platform.

Getting started

If you are interested just in installing applications that depend on Python you can get a lot of them using the repositories listed here. All depending packages will be automatically installed.

• Ovi Store;
• MeeGo Apps;
• MeeGo Apps - Beta;

The following links provide useful information for Python developers, including information about MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan Security Framework.
