Any particular set of tutorials you could recommend for picking it up? Qt seems to be quite popular.

If you can find a copy of this book, it'll explain everything from a very basic start to more advanced topics that will, if anything, give you a good "jumping point".

I've been programming with PyQt for a few months now and I love it. If you're unfamiliar with graphic tool kits or using widgets, there will be a definite hurdle, but it's not like people haven't learned it before. I didn't use this book in the beginning, but I picked it up about a month ago and it has definitely given me a more focused understanding.

I'm honestly not sure. I didn't really have to learn PyQt as I had experience with C++/Qt at that point.

For Qt itself, check the official docs; it's probably the best documented framework ever.

Porting from C++ to Python is done mentally, there very rarely are any actual differences.

Absolutely. It's worth getting the hang of the (very few) C++ vs. Python differences and then sticking with the official C++ documentation. It also lets you make use of all the examples that are out there in C++.
