[edit] Core

These packages are the minimal necessary to run or develop Python applications for Maemo.

python2.5
Version 2.5 of the high-level, interactive object oriented language, includes an extensive class library with lots of goodies for network programming, system administration, sounds and graphics.
python-central
Provides support for building and installing python modules independent of the current installed Python version.
python-defaults
Provides meta packages with unversioned package names (e.g. python-dev, which installs python2.5-dev).
python-runtime
Meta package which installs the basic Python runtime environment.
python-support
Provides tools for byte-compilation of Python-only modules, and automatic rebuild on major Python upgrades.

[edit] Applications

We provide some Python applications as examples, and that we find useful for PyMaemo users.

ipython
A enhanced interactive Python shell.

[edit] Development

These packages are necessary only if you are developing Python applications on Maemo.

cython
Cython is a language that makes writing C extensions for the Python language as easy as Python itself.
pyrex
Pyrex lets you write code that mixes Python and C data types any way you want, and compiles it into a C extension for Python.
python-setuptools
Extensions to the python-distutils for large or complex distributions.

[edit] Support packages

These packages are provided as dependencies for other packages, and are not used directly by users/developers.

sdl-ttf2.0 (dependency for pygame)
TTF library for SDL with FreeType 2 support.
