These issues will unfortunately probably not help in attracting more developers to the Maemo OS.

I'm not silvermountain, but I guess he's referring to the issues just mentioned about poor documentation, difficulties with ESbox, and lots of error/warning messages appearing in scratchbox.

I thought we already established the fact that you don't need scratchbox and/or ESbox for python development

But after all that, when I launch the Python interpreted on the device and try to import qt it does not find the package.

I am just getting started. The info may be out there. I am not complaining. Just agreeing that it is a bit hard to get going and that it would be nice to have some step by step guidelines for getting started with pyqt on the N900. Are those out there?

apt-get install python2.5-qt4-gui
That should be it. Nothing else is needed (from the packages). If you have Xephyr running, you should see 1:1 what you would on the device. If an import fails, sent it to me so I could take a look.

OK, OK, since it looks like I'm going to have to assume PyQt maintainership anyway, I might as well put together a guide...

And prefer PySide over PyQT binding ... the first one haven't any official maintainer for Maemo.
EDIT : Here is the link on the official web site on how to install it on maemo, but also on other linux system : http://www.pyside.org/downloads/

ImportError: No module named qt4
PS: By the way, is there a way to create a shortcut to the terminal from the N900 desktop? I can't figure out how to add items found under the "More..." area.
