But Python is important, allowing party-time developers to code on device (N900, N9, etc), anytime, anywhere, and contribute to the software diversity. The same migration from Harmattan (etc) Qt Quick components to Sailfish Silica is needed, with small-medium source code revision & rewrite. There are more options for Qt5/Wayland migration, none ready at the moment :
...
2.c) use a future PyQt 5 version, because the current one excludes Qt Quick 2. There is also the issue of GPL license and release PyQt 5 for Mer/Nemo/Sailfish;
More news about PyQt 5 and Qt 5/Qt Quick 2 support :
- PyQt 5.0.1 (next release) will have Qt Quick 2 support, and PyQt 5.1 will have Qt 5.1 support, see
PyQt and Qt 5.1 discussion.

So, in theory, PyQt 5.1 will give Python access to develop softwares (with GUI) for Sailfish, Ubuntu Touch, Android, iOS, etc. Obviously somebody needs to compile PyQt for them.

PyQt 5.0 was released in June 16th, I haven't found any estimate date for PyQt 5.0.1 and 5.1. But PyQt 5.0.1 is the current development snapshot, see the change logs which says "Completed the initial implementation of the QtQuick module" in July 20th.

We Python developers (for Sailfish, etc) should pay attention to PyOtherSide and PyQt 5.x developments.
