I take the liberty to answer for Matthew, AFAIK he took a couple of
extra vacation days in Budapest. There is standalone code here:
lp:~mmcg069/software-center/pyside-qt-sc

And a first attempt to integrate it into the new code layout:
lp:~mvo/software-center/refactor-with-qml

Its pretty basic currently, just the listview, not yet close to what
your c++ version can do.
