Get the power and the speed

The story begins with the characters profile.

First you have the C and C++ compiled languages: cool, powerful, fast and yet very hard to figure out.

Running alongside you have Python, an interpreter and object oriented interpreted programming language where you can have all the benefits above with the advantage of a much intuitive and clear – not to mention flexible – syntax.

But there comes Maemo platform, the one which provides an open source development for Nokia Internet Tablets and, guess what, is written mostly in C/C++ languages.

This is the catchy line to introduce our hero in the story: PyMaemo. Which is exactly what its name appears to be: Python for Maemo, designed to have a smaller size and and optimized to be more responsive to tablets like N770, N800, N810 and forthcoming Maemo based devices.

The idea is saving space while running faster and providing more usability inside the Maemo platform. It is the great (and much easier) alternative for fast prototyping and programming in the Maemo environment.
