Ok, I just got my jphone a few hours ago and after some fiddling with enabling dev mode I finally got zypper to work properly and installed pyqt and I can confirm that it works just fine. Now I'm thinking of creating a repo on openrepos called "sailfish-lib" as a place where we could put libs that are well tested and used by many different apps. Openrepos would be the right place for that yes/no?

Edit: So there's absolutely no excuse anymore for not porting all those opensource maemo/meego python apps to sailfish.
