[Python-Dev] Python Mobile-sig

[Jeff Hardy]

There is now a Python SIG dedicated to running Python on mobile
devices. Sign up for the mobile-sig at python.org mailing list and find
out more at [1].

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.
