Yes, PySide in the Emulator VM (no need for Qt Creator and/or the SDK VM with the cross compilers) does the trick, things are mostly the same as with developing on-device with Harmattan (plus, you get a newer Python version - yay!). Basically SSH into the emulator, become root, "zypper in python-pyside" and you're ready to go. If you have previously been using the Harmattan Qt Components, you can install them in the Sailfish Emulator to ease porting (however, for best results, make sure that you don't use Harmattan Qt Components after porting your app to Sailfish Silica): http://thpmaemo.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-try-out-gpodder-in-sailfish-os.html HTH :) Thomas _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
