Bug Description

https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/apps/ has the following sentence: "For the logic, JavaScript, Qt and other languages such as Python or Go can power refined QML UIs.".

I have written a Python app for GNU/Linux, using Python and PyQt5. For reference, it is available here: https://github.com/Pext/Pext.

Seeing how Python was listed, I thought I would be able to just run it, but python3-pyqt5 is not installed on the BQ Aquaris M10 tablet. I also couldn't find any documentation on how to get a Python app to run on Ubuntu Touch.

Do note that I'm not asking for a step-by-step guide to developing Python QML apps, as the page also clearly states that QML and JavaScript are recommended for starters and, by extend, Python is not. However, some very basic information on how to properly package it for Ubuntu Touch would be great.
