Well one gotta agree that the introduction of Python for Nokia is one of the most important technological development for your Nokia smartphones functional extendability and plugins. Slowly, but surely Python, along with its accelerometer based scripts and easy coding language have become one of the leading language for mobile application and games development to all sort of developers. Yes it has established itself very well in the Nokia symbian smartphone community.
Today I am going to promote 20 of the best Python extensions that are currently available for free in the international software market of Nokia mobile phones or even in the Nokia OVI software store.
First and foremost to use any of the applications listed below you will have to have Python installed on your Nokia phone and you must have accelerometer capabilities. This means that you will need to install the latest version of Python, Python 1.92 which was released earlier, this version of Python has sensor support which is a necessity for some of the below mentioned Nokia applications.
You can download Python with loads of additional Widgets for PyWidgets in the Python with PyWidgets post I posted earlier some two weeks back. I have accordingly updated that post with the latest version of Python, version 1.92 and also kept the old version of the IDE for everyone’s phone

All of these are productive applications (in a way or the other) which means that Nokia softwares such as Nokia DJ or LightSaber is not included.

Nokia Python
Anti Touch 2.0: One of the finest and most effective mobile application that is based on the Python operating system is Anti Touch 2.0. Anti Touch 2.0 basically lets the user to safeguard his or her mobile phone by an alarm system which is determined on the phone movement. So for e.g. if anyone wants to steal your mobile phone from the pocket or someone wants to deliberately steal it from the top of your desk when you are away it immediately triggers an alarm which can then only be switched off by a password or a predetermined set of actions.
There are several other applications like Alert Me 2.0 for example that does a similar work but Anti Touch 2.0 is by far the most customizable. Also you can now download the public beta of nAlert Me which is actually accelerometer based. Some other similar applications for the same functionality is Don’t Touch 1.

Anti Touch 2
A similar application that does the job is Landscape Pro 2.o which has an additional 90 degrees of rotation, thus making the total rotation to 270 degrees!

Shake Lock

Minutes Monitor
Screen Torch simply lights up your cell phone’s display screen with the maximum amount of brightness while Strobelight Pro lights up your LED Flash of the camera. For Strobelight Pro to be active you will need a phone which has a camera and a Flash. It is quite effective and better than the rest in a sense because you can save a lot of battery power by choosing Screen Torch.

You can also try Rock N Scroll which also does a similar job almost and has a better interface, however Shuffle has more features (though it can be difficult for a newbie to get a complete hold of all the features provided by the latest version of Shuffle Ultimate.
