    Thanks for this PyQt5 example !

    Python support (including Qt bindings like PyQt) is very important 
to allow many mobile Linux developers to create softwares for Ubuntu Touch :
- where QML processing is too simple and C++ is too much (Python is enough);
- which depend on Python modules (with hundreds of thousands of lines of 
code, etc).

    Mobile Linux OS have a good percentage (tens of %) of their 
softwares made in Python : Maemo 4 (Python/PyGtk/PyQt), Maemo 5 
(Python/PyGtk/PyQt/PySide), MeeGo Harmattan (Python/PySide), etc.

    Let us hope Python and PyQt5 will be supported in Ubuntu Touch, so 
the mobile Python community can contribute with a wealth of softwares to 
Ubuntu Touch.
