It did take the rest of the afternoon to install the full dev environment (including the emulated N900 used for testing), but mostly that was waiting on downloads. There’s only one real technical hitch, and that only affects 64-bit platforms (and yes, the walkthrough has the fix documented in it). Hope it helps… My walkthrough for getting up and running with Python on the N900:

For lists it is much better to just use linear search. Using binsearch of lists in erlang will lead to O(N^2) algorithm, instand of expected O(log N). Use linear search which is O(N), then compare.

It's not polished in terms of installation procedure on the N900, but I'll be able to provide instructions on how to do that.
