• Extras bound - it's in extras-testing now, test and vote so we could get it to all users !

• Qt 4.5 AND Qt 4.6 - PyQt for maemo follows the Qt deployment roadmap (i.e. 4.5 support in Extras and 4.6 support in Extras-devel)

• N800/N810/N900 support - yes, it's available and works on all Maemo devices except for the 770

• Now with a proper demo package - no command line magic needed to start dabbling with PyQt - just download python2.5-qt4-doc from the application manager and you get a demo tour application plus all necessary modules and docs to start basic development

• OpenGL ES support - unlike previous versions, this one sports QtOpenGL support (you might need additional GL packages !)

• Synchronized with upstream 4.7 - whatever upstream implements, we get, too, which also means full compatibility with desktop PyQt applications

• Smallest footprint - Uses the least amount of memory from all available Qt bindings

• Easy upgrade path - almost completely API compatible with PySide - stuff you do in PyQt needs minimal effort to port to PySide should you decide to switch down the line

EDIT: there were some autobuilder/dependency issues in the 4.7-maemo2 version, check if yout have the correct updated one (4.7-maemo3+) if weird issues pop up in the SDK.

Grab it while it's hot and have some Python fun !

Of course, you will need to find a way to arrange things so you can support previous Maemo releases; I'm talking only about fremantle here.

In any case, you should not be installing QtCore manually - it will be installed by PyQt automatically (and if you have the N900, QtCore comes with the device by default).
