[SailfishDevel] Python & Qt5 updates on Sailfish OS

[Roberto Colistete Jr.]

     Hi,

     First of all, thanks Jolla developers (Thomas Perl, etc) for making 
IMHO Sailfish the best current mobile OS for Python development.

     Some more updated information :
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1424946#post1424946
about :
*1) Python on Sailfish* :
- it has a wiki Sailfish/Python Development page 
<https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Sailfish/Python_Development%29>;
- Python 3.3.3 (and later 3.4.0) is in Sailfish official repositories 
since Sailfish v1.0.3.8 (31/01/2014);
- it can be installed as a dependency for other software (gPodder, etc) 
or by manual installation with :
$ pkcon install python3-base
- it is expected to be accepted in Jolla Harbour "soon" 
<https://together.jolla.com/question/6116/python-application-support-in-jolla-store-harbour/>.

*2) PyOtherSide (http://thp.io/2011/pyotherside/) on Sailfish 
<http://thp.io/2011/pyotherside/>* :
- is in Sailfish official repositories since Sailfish v1.0.3.8 (31/01/2014);
- it can be installed as a dependency for other software (gPodder, etc) 
or by manual installation with :
$ pkcon install pyotherside-qml-plugin-python3-qt5
- has newer versions 1.1 and 1.2 released in 2014;
- is being used by more than 10 Sailfish softwares, and by BlackBerry 
(10) softwares;
- it is expected to be accepted in Jolla Harbour "soon" 
<https://together.jolla.com/question/6116/python-application-support-in-jolla-store-harbour/>;
- it as available in Arch Linux repositories and Ubuntu PPA;
- it is cited by the wiki Sailfish/Python Development page 
<https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Sailfish/Python_Development#PyOtherSide%29>.

*3) PyQt 5.1.1**on Sailfish *:
- is available in OpenRepos.net;
- it is cited by the wiki Sailfish/Python Development page 
<https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Sailfish/Python_Development#PyQt%29>.

     So Python 3 & Qt 5 development is well supported in Sailfish, so it 
is time for Python developers to release their softwares for Sailfish.

         Best regards,

         Roberto
