[[File:PythonS60.jpg|thumb|Python Shell on [[Nokia 6120 Classic]] ]]
First released in 2005, PyS60 featured a relatively small set of modules and functions. Version 1.2, the last closed-source release and the second version of PyS60, brought many improvements and was made available on 21 October 2005 on the Nokia Forums.

After becoming [[open-source]], PyS60 had the advantage of a strong and dedicated community that actively contributed to improving it. The milestone release was version 1.3.11.

The final version that supported the [[S60 (software platform)#S60 editions|S60 2nd Edition]] platform, 1.4.5, was released on 3 December 2008. On 24 December 2008, a developer version, 1.9.0, was released. It featured several improvements, the most notable of which was a new core based on Python 2.5.1.

The final version, 2.0.0, was released on 11 February 2010. Which core is based on Python 2.5.4.<ref name="google1" />
