Running PyAMF on the IPhone OS

The iPhone OS, or OS X iPhone, is the operating system developed by Apple Inc. for the iPhone and iPod touch, using an ARM-based processor. Shortly after the operating system was released (firmware release 1.1.1), hackers were able to "jailbreak" the device through a TIFF exploit. The resulting application, "Installer.app", enabled the user to download a selection of unofficial third-party programs. Some of these give the user more control over the iPod Touch than is officially available, and also makes it work on Linux operating systems.

Python 2.5.2 is also one of those third-party programs, but Subversion 1.4.6, Java 1.5, GCC etc can all be found there. This tutorial shows you how to install a basic toolkit including Subversion, Python, and Twisted and it's dependencies.
