Download PythonCE from the SourceForge project Files page∞.

Each release of PythonCE consists of several files, but you don't need to download all of the files. The release notes linked from the Files page explain what each file is used for, to help you decide which files you need to download (e.g. the release notes for PythonCE 2.5 are here: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=454685&group_id=104228∞). A more general summary follows:

• PythonCE-*-setup.exe
  • This is the easiest way to install PythonCE on your PDA. When you run this installer on your PC (not on your PDA) it will register PythonCE with the Microsoft ActiveSync Application Manager and allow you to install it on your PDA. You will be given the option of installing to the main memory or a storage card. ActiveSync will also allow you to uninstall PythonCE from your PC.
• PythonCE-*.cab
  • It is recommended to download the CAB installer only if you cannot use the .exe installer, e.g. because you do not use ActiveSync. To install, copy the CAB file to your PDA somewhere and run it. Please note that (as usual) the CAB file will be deleted after installation.
• PythonCE-*-source.zip
  • This package contains the complete source required to compile PythonCE using Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, and you will only need this if you want to compile PythonCE yourself. For bug fix releases the full source is not usually provided, so use the patch instead.
• PythonCE-*-patch.zip
  • This patch contains the differences between the official Python source release and the modified PythonCE sources. You only need it if you want to compile PythonCE yourself.
• PythonCE-*-dev.zip
  • This package contains the header files from the PythonCE source and the import libraries generated when building it. You only need this if you want to build C extension modules for PythonCE.

For Smartphones : See the new pythonce-smartphone package∞ for a PythonCE release which should work on both Pocket PC and Smartphone devices. Smartphone build originally provided by Christopher Fairbairn∞
