Is this a problem? Python is object-oriented, after all. :^)

Yep, see point 13 at http://www.trolltech.com/developer/faq/free.html :

"13.I want to use Qt to develop free software on Windows.
Qt/Windows is only available as Professional/Enterprise Edition, not as Free Edition. Using an X client library for Windows and a Windows X server, it is possible to use the X11 version of Qt on Windows."

Yeah, right. :^(

Also, Qt is C++ based too. Cannot see the problem, anyway.

Also #2: there seems to be some mismatch between the platforms supported by SDL and those supported by Qt.
