A complete walkthrough of creating applications for the Maemo platform with Python and Qt.

The second segment of the presentation focuses on the 'how' in a nutshell: How to setup up a proper PyQt development environment, how to develop most efficiently, how to debug, how to profile and optimize, platform caveats and gotchas, packaging considerations.
