I try to find something similar to nokia's python for windows mobile based devices - a script interpreter [in this case also able to create standalone apps] with easy access to all phone interfaces - ability to make a phone call, send SMS, make a photo, send a file over GPRS, etc...

While there is 2.5 pythonce available for windows mobile it is pure python interpreter and what I look for are all those "libraries" that nokia's python has like "import camera", "import messaging", ability to control the phone programatically. Also the bluetooth console of nokia python is great.

I do not want to use .NET CF as even there (AFAIK) to control camera you need to use some indirect methods (for example: http://blogs.msdn.com/marcpe/archive/2006/03/03/542941.aspx).

Appreciate any help you can provide, thanks in advance.

I hope there is something I was unable to locate via google.

Well there is Mortscript. a widely used scripting for Windows Mobile. Not sure if it can access all the phones functions. I believe there is TCL for Windows Mobile as well.

thanks for help - I have not checked them before. Unfortunately: - I checked Mortscript manual - camera not mentioned, sms mentioned twice but in a registry editing context. Also - etcl and sms search does not give any link at google that seems interesting :(

Unfortunately all the cool stuff in winmobile is in c++.

It sounds as if this is an opportunity for you to develop some C extension modules for the PythonCE project.
