Under iLiad's limited memory size and its special display refresh mechanism, Python is not a good way to do serious job on iLIad, especially when GUI is related.

Besides, PyQt is not the combination of Python and Qt. Instead, PyQt is a binding between Qt and Python. The relationship between them is not an equation A+B=C.

More specifically, I would say "Python on top of PyQt on top of Qt = Python GUI".
