== Introduction  ==

The [[Harmattan]] Python project provides a Python (v2.6.6) 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.

== Getting started  ==

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

== API Bindings  ==

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