I think I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Qt Creator is a Qt 
IDE with a full plugin system. I see no reason why Qt Creator shouldn't 
offer support for any language supported by Qt.

Now, I don't think Nokia should be dedicating any resources to 
maintaining the plugins for the bindings they don't themselves maintain. 
That would just be foolish, and one of the reasons why it's an 
open-source project -- and one of the reasons why it's a plugin-based 
system.

But saying that Creator flat out should never support anything but C++ 
is rather short-sighted, especially given the popularity of PyQt.
