sure this has probably been mentioned before - but definitely enjoying this read - Python for newbies (Maemo twist)

Good news, everyone ! As of tonight, PyQt is available to the general public as a simple Extras install (look for python2.5-qt4-doc) from the Application Manager !

PS. Future versions will have a more intuitive package name but I did not want to break the quarantine waiting period

Anyone know which python module will help me determine what repo an app is from? (Jaffa? - as you have experience in this field!)

p.s. seen your post in another thread pointing to the python modules - tried hunting through them all, but it's hard work - would be useful to have a simplified english description next to each

That's not as easy to find out as it seems... There is python-apt, but that is not ported to Maemo as of yet. The nasty part is that you have no info which repo has an app been actually installed from, only which repos contain it NOW, which is not necessarily what you want. Plus, just to add a spin to it, there is good chance repositories will start to get cleaned up, so you might have an app installed whose (installed) version is currently not present in any of the repositories.

Hmmm just re-read that bit... how about just getting a list of installed apps then ? - any specific module?

might be easier just to parse the output of `dpkg -l`
