Python/Harmattan

Introduction
The Harmattan Python project provides a Python runtime environment for Nokia's N9 phone and the N950 developer device built on the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan platform. It provides a full-featured set of packages and tools to rapidly develop and run Python applications using the PySide: Python for Qt bindings together with the Qt Quick UI definition language. Applications can be deployed as individual Debian packages, using the community OBS, or eventually, via Ovi Store.

API Bindings
The Harmattan Python project tries to cover as many APIs as possible. Nowadays there are bindings for the green marked modules:

In addition to the listed APIs above (provided by python-dbus, python-pyside, python-qtmobility, python-qtsparql) there are lots of packages:

python-cairo         python-chardet    python-conic          python-content.action python-context       python-crypto     python-dateutil       python-gconf python-gi            python-gobject    python-imaging        python-libxml2 python-lxml          python-magic      python-markupsafe     python-openssl python-pkg-resources python-pycurl     python-pygments       python-roman python-storm         python-tralchemy  python-twisted-web    python-twisted-words python-xdg           python-numpy      python-beautifulsoup  python-feedparser
