FYI, Forum Nokia has added a shortcut for the Python for Series 60 project: http://www.forum.nokia.com/python. Much easier to remember then the previous “0,,034-821,00….” nonsense.

Was this change recent? I had tried it quite a few weeks back and it was working back then.

The shortcut link itself has actually been working for quite some time; However, it used to point to a project description page. Within the past few weeks it has been updated to point to the download page instead. So, you’re right, it’s not *new*… I just wanted to mention it in hopes that more people will use the shortcut URL instead of the ugly URL.
