About PluThon

PluThon is an Eclipse Ganymede-based product that provides support for developing Python applications for maemo. PluThon does NOT require Scratchbox. Developers run and debug applications directly on a maemo device, speeding up the development time.

PluThon may be used on all major platforms (Linux, Win32, Mac OS X). Maemo 4.1 Diablo and 5.0 Fremantle SDKs are supported (older versions may work as well).
