PY2SIS create sis stand alone application file

You have coded the program and tested it using PyS60 emulator or in your mobile phone. Now you want to make standalone application out of your Python code to deploy in mobile phones. You have to create SIS (Symbian Installation System) file.


Format of the command is:

py2sis  [sisfile] [--uid=0x12345678] [--appname=myapp] 
[--presdk20] [--leavetemp]

I used the following command to create SIS file for my program:
F:\Nokia\Tools\Python_for_Series_60\py2sis>py2sis.exe 
dse_stock_tracker.py dse.sis --uid 0x12345678
--appname=DSEStockPriceTracker

If you want to know details about py2sis, get the book (ebook is there) "Programming with Python for Series 60 Platform" and go to chapter 14. The book is freely available.
