Good point about waiting until you are able to build your package. :-). Mind posting your build_myapp.py please? I assume your previous post details all of your import statements, so I won't need that. BTW, to keep posts, short, you can use http://pastie.org or similar services. Looks like you figured this out already :-)

Qt can handle multiple threads:

• Multithreading and Concurrency Examples
• QThread documentation( probably easier to understand than the above examples

As for gps, you are probably fine using gobject until qtmobility becomes stable.

Thanks aspidites

Is there any issues with me using GTK etc... other then it being messy? - or is it good practice not to mix and match when needed?

- off out for a nice sunday dinner, back in a few hours

If this app is only meant to run on the N900, and older tablets then it probably won't matter, considering they all come with GTK preinstalled, but sticking to one makes things easier to port. I would imagine that sticking to one toolkit would make things run slightly faster (less modules to import).

I use QT Threading in my app in the sig.

You're free to download it and review the code if you are interested in how to make that works.

It's heavily based on emitting signals from within child threads.

For your build_myapp.py

I'm not sure what all PyQt4 brings down... but I used specifically the modules I needed to make space.. so for example:

python2.5-qt4-gui
python2.5-qt4-webkit
python2.5-qt4-core
python2.5-qt4-network
etc.

ETA: This should save some space for users downloading your app since they only grab what they need.. not the whole PyQt4 bindings.

thanks fatal! heading home in an hour or so will go through and check it out.

really could do with a list of imports and next to each, state whic file is needed. would help newbies like me!

I am pretty sure the approval will come on Monday. The same wait over the weekend happened to me as well...
