[Qt-creator] Python support?

Hi,

I've checked out Qt Creator, I really like it.
You guys had a chance to start fresh and implement some nice fresh ideas.
Great job.

Unfortunately form me, I'm doing mostly Python now.
The problem is that there isn't any decent editor for linux. (imho :)
) (http://xkcd.com/541/)
I've evaluated mostly everything on the market and they all have huge
shortcomings. (did I mention I hate eclipse?)

Pydev is nice, but, it has huge drawbacks.
And, vim is great, but I've found that a GUI-based editor makes my
life a lot easier.

I saw that the much of the C++ editor in Qt Creator is actually a plugin.
I'm planning to do the same for Python.

So I'm looking for some information:

Has anyone else started working on something similar?
I know the Trolltech guys are aware of PyQt, is python support planned
for a future version? If yes, does anyone have an estimate?

Is it too soon to start something like that? Will the interfaces
change a lot during the next minor versions?

Is anyone interested in collaborating on it?
