Riverbank Computing is pleased to announce the release of PyQt v4.1 available from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/.
The highlights of this release include: - support for Qt v4.2 including QGraphicsView and related classes, the undo framework, widget stylesheets, and integration with GNOME (both visually and the event loop) - the addition of the QtTest module for automated GUI testing - the addition of the QAxContainer module for Windows for integrating ActiveX controls. PyQt is a comprehensive set of Qt bindings for the Python programming language and supports the same platforms as Qt (Windows, Linux and MacOS/X). Like Qt, PyQt is available under the GPL and a commercial license. See http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Docs/PyQt4/html/classes.html for the class documentation. PyQt v4 supports Qt v4 (http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/index.html). PyQt v3 is still available to support earlier versions of Qt. PyQt v4 is implemented as a set of 10 extension modules containing approximately 400 classes and 6,000 functions and methods. QtCore The non-GUI infrastructure including event loops, threads, i18n, Unicode, signals and slots, user and application settings. QtGui A rich collection of GUI widgets. QtNetwork A set of classes to support TCP and UDP socket programming and higher level protocols (eg. HTTP). QtOpenGL A set of classes that allows PyOpenGL to render onto Qt widgets. QtSql A set of classes that implement SQL data models and interfaces to industry standard databases. Includes an implementation of SQLite. QtSvg A set of classes to render SVG files onto Qt widgets. QtTest A set of classes to automate unit testing of PyQt applications and GUIs. QtXML A set of classes that implement DOM and SAX parsers. QtAssistant A set of classes that enables the Qt Assistant online help browser to be integrated with an application. QAxContainer A set of classes for Windows that allows the integration of ActiveX controls and COM objects. A Windows installer is provided for the GPL version of PyQt to be used with the GPL version of Qt v4 (http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/windows.html). It enabes a complete PyQt environment to be installed on Windows without the need for a C++ compiler. PyQt includes the pyuic utility which generates Python code to implement user interfaces created with Qt Designer in the same way that the uic utility generates C++ code. It is also able to load Designer XML files dynamically. Phil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
