<pre wrap="">Nokia's original book on Meego featured, I think, Python as the development. I
do not see this book on Amazon. However, almost none of the articles I have
seen relating to Jolla mention Python. I assumed Nokia believed Python was an
ideal language for an open system that was easily modifiable by others. I get
the impression the language is C++. This is more difficult than Java and
possibly also Objective C. How does Jolla expect their system to be adapted as
open if the language developers have to deal with is C++, with Python a vague
afterthought?

I would say nothing is harder then Objective C ;-), but to not
start a rant - I don't think you will find a developer that
never used C++ (or at least not after any technical university I
know). Also note that most of the languages are based on C++
(including Java), so the syntax shouldn't be too shocking ;-).
Python on the other hand is more similar to Pascal which is less
popular. I won't talk about Objective C, because I don't know
any similar language ;-). Probably due to the fact that Apple
was creating it in the same time as C++ was developed...<br>
<br>
Having said that. You can install python on Jolla/Sailfish using

pkcon install python<br>
