The device should have accelerometer sensor. Check Nokia Sensor APIs

# Import the extension
import e32
import axyz
 
 
# Define some service function - must take 3 parameters (8 bit int's)
 
def printout(x,y,z):
  print "x: %i y: %i z: %i"%(x,y,z)
 
 
# Data acquisition callbacks will start as soon as a valid Python function is registered
 
axyz.connect(printout)
 
 
#
#
#... Data acquisition callbacks will commence and ended after 15 secs
#
#
 
e32.ao_sleep(15)
