Python for S60, also called PyS60—a term reminiscent of the Unix naming convention—is a port of the Python programming language developed by Nokia for its S60 software platform, originally based on Python 2.2.2 from 2002.{{Cite web |url=http://press.nokia.com/PR/200601/1032017_5.html |title=Nokia - Nokia to Release Python for S60 Source Code to Open-Source Software Developer Community |access-date=17 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070518052247/http://press.nokia.com/PR/200601/1032017_5.html |archive-date=18 May 2007 |url-status=dead }}
