The official Symbian Python distribution for the various Series 60 versions has been released.
I haven't installed the SDK yet, though I notice that there is a Bluetooth example in the package. From the readme it appears that aside from some console display and time issues most scripts should work fine.
Aside from Win32.remabl, I'm not yet aware of any python worms. The cost of entry for Symbian malware authors is now much lower.
Given the size of trojans like Skulls, I would not be surprised if the Python interpreter was installed on a large number of S60 phones by the middle of next year if not sooner. Never underestimate the lure of a free lunch.
