The tutorial is based on you using your own build of Python, not the 
distro version.

I'm grateful for all the testing. The nature of the deployment problem 
is that there will be many, many small issues that people will come up 
with just because they do things in a different (but perfectly valid) 
way. I would just say that if I don't respond to a problem then it's 
likely that it's no longer an issue as things are moving on fairly 
quickly. For example the notes for building static packages are mostly 
out of date, but I do now have the PyQt5 wiggly example running on the 
iPhone simulator.
