Hi Mark Summerfield, I am fan of your book "Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt". Its pleasure to have new edition. But two year is little long....
I have found the pyqt does not have any support for the classes for embedded linux. But David Boddie has given some support for it in http://bitbucket.org/dboddie/pyqt4-for-embedded-linux. I wish please you to include support for it in next edition, such as how to port it to embedded linux / embedded systems....
