Ultimately has been the goal for past 2 years :S

Wish it was that easy. I had a hacked version of run-webkit-tests for both the old Perl and Python script at some point. Symbian sis installer just won't work with those data sizes and there is all kinds of issues to go with.
I know Laszlo has a working version of run-webkit-tests running on Symbian in it self using PyS60, but that takes around 3 days to complete.

My idea for the actual run-webkit-tests is to create a distributed mechanism to run it over multiple phones. Phones would be slaved over WLAN to the Python master which it kinda supports already. USB ain't good solution as we need a hub of tens of phones to make it useful as build bot tester. Tools would need to be reconfigured to handle multiple COM channels, plenty of power to USB with additional hubs etc.

Thats why I made this lightweight script to separate it from much larger task which will be modifying run-webkit-tests to be used with Symbian.

If you think this is script is not useful in trunk then just kill the task. I  put it up here if someone else wants to use it. This far there haven't been that many people who actually have ran layout tests on Symbian.
