That could an issue, as if I understand it correctly PyQt in its current build scripts doesn't really support cross-compilation. Might not be much an issue in Scratchbox based SDKs such as the Sailfish one, but could be an issue when cross-compiling, like for Android or BB10.

But I remember the PyQt author mentioning that once Qt officially supports Android (that should be probably 5.2, 5.1 has initial support), he will make PyQt work on it too. So this could be another issue that will be moot in the near future.
