This is where I would start.
"PluThon (Eclipse based)
PluThon is a full Python IDE for Maemo, based on Eclipse. While PluThon is easy to use and provides a complete solution, it is not necessary for basic Python development for Maemo. If you already use Eclipse for your development, PluThon might be your best option."

Eclipse rocks. Python rocks. Using both for Maemo device development sounds pretty sweet to me.

I've never used any other framework than .NET. And coming form that world, I really do miss the plethora of simple code examples on how to do different things. That is. other than just the Hello World.

Microsoft is always well documented. Google is too most of the time.

To make the matters worse for me, I chose to start using C++ which is a bad move, since all the documentation it is assumed that everyone who uses C++ has already done so for at least several centuries if not for millenniums. Before starting to develop for Maeomo, Visual Basic (yes, I already told that I am a "sissy") was more than enough for my needs. Since I had to learn a new language anyway, I thought I learn a good one which is useful on many platforms.

Have fun.

It seems like the best development environment is qt creator+madde, but that's c++ only?
esbox with pluthon is pretty good for python, but I cannot for the life of me get it to play with SVN which is what garage uses. So its a pain to use with svn
the suggestion of using qt with python seems to be dependent on waiting for some fix arriving at some point that would actually allow you to get the app out of extra-devel. But if you want to write a python app that people can actually use *now* then you have to stick with GTK?
Are there any guides on how you'd convert from gtk to qt?
I've been using gtkBuilder, is there some QT equivalent? or do I have to go back to coding everything integrated?
I am hoping to get back to working on witter, and I'm trying to decide if I should seriously consider switching to QT.

I would like to know what the status is on getting the Qt 4.6 libs into the repos. Telling people to develop in Qt is all well and good but if we really are "going with the future of Maemo" then we need to be coding against 4.6.
