You could always package a GUI seperately (ie PianoBar & pyPianobar)

i use pypackager and py2deb (Never remember which is which) - but allows you to package it on the device, and gets it all ready for the repo's (Obviously who have to edit a few files, and add an icon here and there! - but wasn't too bad )

Ok thanks, i'll check out py2deb, it seems more direct. I take it the file editing is simply entering in the information that will appear in the catologue.
If i package it to a deb file, is it as simple as jus installing the deb file on my device? I suppose that would be the same as using apt-get install if it was in a repo.

Once packaged, you can upload it to extras and it can appear in application manager.
You can also install the deb directly.

I have been creating some qt-based python apps for my n900. I dont like having to navigate through the terminal and executing them that way.
I would like to know if it is possible to 'compile' the app, as such, to appear in the applications dialog with the rest of my installed ones. Im saying this because i want to know if it would be possible to submit it to a repository in the future.
thanks

To be able to launch your app through the menu, you need to create a .desktop file at the right place:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_file_format
To upload it into a repository, you need to create a source package containing the information necessary to create the .deb package by the autobuilder. Py2deb, or Esbox can help you with that step (many tutorials are available online as well on how to create a debian package, not specific to meamo).

I've only just got my head round the whole lot myself, after a week of deciding which route to take. It can get very complicated, simply writing and deploying an application on the n900. I've only just got the ball rolling myself so when i've developed a fully functional application and managed to submit it to the extras repo, i will write a tutorial on it.

So I basically used py2deb to build me the initial DEBIAN/ and root structure of the files.. then I just managed all the files by hand from there and used "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" to build the deb from there.
I refer to this article quite often when building deb packages because of it's many examples of the different required files and shows how to build the structure completely yourself.
