2.2. Installing Python for S60 on 2nd Edition Devices
We assume that your computer has either a built-in Bluetooth capability or an external Bluetooth dongle. You should have Bluetooth working on your computer.

You need to download two installation files from the Internet to your computer. You find them at SourceForge's PyS60 project page, http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60.

The file names consist of four components:
the name
the version number, for example, 1.4.0 (make sure you choose the latest version, that is, the largest number)
the edition number (in this case, 2ndEd)
the choice of Feature Pack; depending on your phone model, you should choose files ending with FP2 or FP3 (Table D.1 shows which is suitable for your phone).
Assuming that version 1.4.0 is the latest version and your phone uses Feature Pack2, you download PythonForS60_1_4_0_2ndEdFP2.SIS (the PyS60 interpreter) and PythonScriptShe11_1_4_0_2ndEdFP2.SIS (the user interface).
2.2.2. Send the Installation Files to the Phone
You use Bluetooth to send the files to the phone's message inbox. Make sure you have switched on Bluetooth on your phone (settings can be found in the 'Connect' panel).
Windows Users
In the File Explorer application, go to the location of the installation files. Right-click on the file to send. ...
