This is motivated by a python-ideas thread [1] regarding Python on mobile devices. During the thread a mobile-sig was proposed as it is too niche for regular python-dev discussion. It was also suggested that the SIG could operate much like distutils-sig [2] in how it serves as a development area for things that are then proposed to python-dev.
I volunteer to be the initial administrator/moderator/owner of the list. = Topic = Python for mobile devices = Charter = The Mobile-SIG exists to improve the usability of Python on mobile devices, as mobile platforms have their own unique requirements and constraints. There are two goals: * To collaborate on porting CPython to mobile platforms and ensure that other Python implementations (i.e. Jython, IronPython) present much the same environment as CPython when running on mobile devices. * To collaborate on the design of modules for mobile-centric features such as cameras, GPS, accelerometers, and other sensors to ensure cross-platform and cross-implementation compatibility. The intent is to work on mobile-centric features in this group before proposal to python-dev, similar to how the distutils-sig operates. Questions of how to use Python on mobile platforms currently are considered off-topic as there are many other existing places for those questions. - Jeff [1] https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2014-December/030490.html [2] https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-January/030605.html _______________________________________________ Meta-sig maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/meta-sig
