Are you a Python developer, feeling envious of your C++-coding buddies
cranking out N900 Qt applications with all those nice Qt Mobility APIs
[1]? No reason for envy any longer: The PyMaemo/PySide team is proud to
present PySide Mobility: Python bindings for the Qt Mobility APIs!
Combining the power of Python and the Nokia-sponsored PySide [2] Qt
bindings with the capabilities of Qt Mobility, you'll be spewing out
impressive apps for N900 like never before!

Available APIs
==============
In this first release for Maemo 5, we have bindings available for the
following APIs:
- Bearer Management
- Contacts
- Location
- Messaging
- System Information
- Sensors
- Versit
How to install
==============
The PySide Mobility packages are already available in the extras-devel
repository. If you're a developer and want to install the full set of
bindings, install the pyside-qt4 and pyside-mobility metapackages.
Documentation
=============
PySide Mobility API reference documentation is available here:
http://www.pyside.org/docs/pyside-mobility
If you are interested in more generic PySide documentation, peruse this
page:
http://www.pyside.org/documentation/
If you are a classic PyQt developer, the biggest difference between
'classic' PyQt and PySide is that PySide only supports the more modern,
so called PyQt API 2. Other than that (and replacing the PyQt4 import
statements with PySide), you are likely to be good to go. See PySide
PSEP 101 for more information on the API differences:
http://www.pyside.org/docs/pseps/psep-0101.html
Examples
========
Several example scripts are available at
http://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/pyside-examples .
If you prefer a tarball, you can download it from gitorious as well:
http://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/pyside-examples/archive-tarball/master
Support & Reporting bugs
========================
Although we have tested the bindings to the best of our ability, we
cannot expect them to be free of issues altogether. Best ways to contact
the PySide team are the #pyside @ FreeNode IRC channel and the pyside
mailing list [3].
If you find any issues you suspect are bugs either in PySide or the
PySide Mobility bindings, we strongly encourage you to file them at our
Bugzilla [4].

Last but not least: Enjoy! :-)
