Can you use Python to make nice fancy GUIs too? (Sorry if this is a stupid question, I suppose a better question would be, can Python be used to make fully fledged N900 applications?)
Sorry, I missed your post until now. I have not yet had a chance to study the maemo specific modules, but there is no reason for them not to be able to control just about anything on the N900. And yes, GUI development and full application development is completely possible in Python.

I hope to eventually update the wave with the sections that deal with those aspects. Until then, what is there should keep you entertained enough.
