    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks a lot ! Now the "pyqmldemo" works on my Nexus 4 with Ubuntu 
Touch.

    After testing, I realized that the pathname of the .desktop file 
should be "~phablet/.local/share/applications/pyqml.desktop". So, in the 
end, running :
$ ./pyqmldemo.py --desktop_file_hint=pyqml
works with the following "pyqml.desktop" file :
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=./pyqmldemo.py
Icon=properties
Name=pyqml
X-Ubuntu-Touch=true
X-Ubuntu-StageHint=SideStage

As python3 is included in the 1st line of "pyqmldemo.py", it is not 
needed if "pyqmldemo.py" has +x permissions.

    Next step, make a click package with .py and .qml files (assuming 
that PyQt5 is installed).

        Regards,

        Roberto
