Always in motion the future is It will be trivial to port the 'base' PyQt, however, there is the question of the new DUI classes. Their future (to me) is unclear - will they be universal and migrate to base Qt ? Will they be part of the MeeGo UI toolkit ? or, in the worst case scenario, just specific to the reference Meego handheld UX ? What will be supported from PyQt will largely depend on the answer to these questions.

If not do you plan maintaining packages there too?
As soon as I get my hands on a MeeGo device

Will PyQt be available for Symbian devices that will be built on Qt?
I don't have a Symbian phone, so nothing from me for now. The current generation of Symbian phones mostly has too little memory to be useful with PyQt (128MB is the minimum, really, and even there, it's a stretch - it's just too easy to run out of memory). If anyone steps up to do it, I'll certainly help.

Asking to know, if we write something for N900 with PyQt, it will be easy to port it to other devices.
Finally, something I can answer unequivocally - yes. PyQt builds on the mainline Qt, which is present on ALL Qt supported platforms, meaning that whatever you do in PyQt, you'll be able to reuse on ANY Qt supported platform it exists for, from future MeeGo devices to desktops.
