Given that, since pyside is not only desktop oriented I think it is only natural that I try to include some tutorial steps about using Mobility for MeeGo on platforms have the hardware necessary to support Mobility, and tutor about using the multimedia aspects of it if they are applicable to desktops and can be installed on other non handset/tablet python enabled platforms, e.g. Windows and non MeeGo Linux distros. > > [1] http://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/pyside-examples/trees/master/mobility > >> 2) I would like to see installation/setup instructions also for other >> desktop platforms (mainly I am talking Windows and OS X here - yes, I >> remember that the support for those platforms is not entirely there, but >> still) > > Would be extremely useful, indeed.

I will make sure to start testing the Windows packages and have a write up of setting it up there and testing that the installation is successful.

As said, I will commit to at least testing the Windows packages.

Yes, from a very brief look at them they state the reqs and follow a very snippet oriented approach which is good for seasoned developers, however I will use this and my knowledge of setuptools to try an provide a step by step with explanations instructions so new comers to PySide will follow it and understand it at he same time. I will also make sure to at least try and include packaging and delivery schemes for Windows, since I don't owe an OS X machine I would require some help on that :).
