I actually wrote a little piece of software to automate the stitching process. Just feed the script a bunch of scanned images and it'll align and stitch the images for you. Never got around to make a proper OSS project for it or advertise it, though.

Hi,

I'm the Nokia guy responsible for the project.

You're right: the current size of PySide is an issue, especially if you consider mobile environments such as Maemo, let alone the S60 platform. However, that's also why we are working on Shiboken, an alternate binding component which would create CPython extensions directly instead of using Boost.Python as an intermediate layer. Shiboken is still in its infancy, but we expect we'll be able to solve the size issues for once and all, while retaining full Python-level compatibility with the current bindings.

Unfortunately, there's not much info on this yet, but check our repo for the source code: qt.gitorius.org/pyside.

Ctrl-Tab? No. Alt-Tab? No. Ctrl-Backspace? No. Alt-Backspace? No. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace? Arrrr!

Actually that is a daily issue for us EMACS users with poor memory. Sigh.

MythTV works like a charm with my Technotrend DVB-C 1.0 Budget digital TV card. It looks like someone is even working on a patch for simultaneous recording of multiple TV channels from the same multiplex.

Too bad MythTV doesn't yet support editing commercials out from MPEG2 digital tv streams without re-encoding. GOPchop is unusable on a low-res TV screen with only a remote control, and avidemux2 can't seem to understand the current MythTV .nuv wrapper.
