pygtk or pyqt are really easy to get into - if what you are designing does not need ultimate performance, you should find it simpler to get up and running using either of those.

the other benefit is you can do it mostly without needing scratchbox

khertan, embed your asciiart inside a code tag or fonts/spaces get screwed

I'm sure both pygtk and pyqt are excellent ways to get a head start with GUI design and the such but my background is in servers/services, databases, embedded systems, some Linux kernel module tinkering and other more low level things. This makes GUI creation a secondary thing (even though it seems easy enough to do nice things in Maemo5) and access to hardware and system resources a primary.

But I have to say that not having to ... handle scratchbox is a good selling point.

most database work is done via the sql library of choice (and hence runs fast mostly) and im sure in your experience you have used scripting binding languages before.

python is extremely useful to bind together your non gui applications too ;)

Thanks for the tips !!!

And to be honest, doing Hildon/GTK Gui with python is really fast ...

In the future (also already now with Java), Python and Java applications can be faster and use less battery energy than same applications (in certail family) written in C/C++. There is optimizations available for these higher level languages which are not possible for standard c/C++.

Read the study: http://trs-new.jpl.nasa.gov/dspace/handle/2014/18351
Also other studies and benchmark tests found with Google.

My point is that I'm more interested in low level things than GUI creation.

But perhaps that changes if I try the python bindings. :)
