Please understand, it is not QT. It is Qt that you are talking about,
hence PyQt. They are different products by 2 different companies. One
is a closed source. While other is a free software, licensed under GPL
( and there is a non-free license version as well ).  This is a very
common mistake and a lot of people seem to be making it recently.
Thanks for understanding.

Now on topic - PyQt is an excellent idea if you are not inclined to do
C++ programming and instead like Python. There are good tutorials on
the web about this topic. And to answer what can be done with PyQt.
Pretty much everything that can be done with Qt/C++. I saw Piyush
Verma implementing tabbed browser in PyQt with some 100 lines of code
or something at KDE Day @ FOSS.IN/2008 little over a month back. Super
cool stuff. Hope that helps.

Cheers!
