Hello,

I would like to contribute some software (involving openstreetmap) to the N900 but I am confused about the best easy way to do it.

I come from a linux background (Debian) with extensive knowledge on Python. I also experimented quite a bit with wxPython.

The question is: which framework should I use ?

Python with GTK ? It seems mature enough, but I understand that Maemo is moving toward Qt and I don't want to design the software again in 6 months.

Python with Qt ? But which Qt ? Qt 4.5 or 4.6 ?
with which API ? PyQt or PySide ?

Can someone confirm that I should go with Qt 4.5 and PyQt while waiting for a mature Qt 4.6 and Pyside ?

I've collected the following ressources which may be useful to others:

• http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html
• http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/ka....5.3-and-qt4.6
• http://www.slideshare.net/guestb4044...pment-on-maemo

And some examples:

• http://gitorious.org/miniature

Thanks for any help !

I think it somehow depends on the target audience. I have activated extras-devel and use Qt 4.6 with Pyside, but that is probably a bad idea when you are interested in a lot of users in the next weeks.
