[PyQt] PyMPlayer with Qt4 under Windows

Thanks for your help in getting PyMPlayer (http://code.google.com/p/python-mplayer/) to work for me with PyQt4 under Windows with Python 3.2. All is working well, but I have one PyQt4 question for you. (which is why I've copied this to the PyQt mailing list; also to publicize your work ;-) ).

[PyQt] Embedding MPlayer in a QWidget // painting problems

I've been successful in embedding the MPlayer video player into a QWidget thanks to the PyMPlayer application (http://code.google.com/p/python-mplayer/). Resizing the QWidget resizes a movie just fine while the movie is playing, but once a movie is paused or stopped, no resizing of the displaye

I'm using a combination of Eclipse + PyDev and I like it a lot. Here is a critique of it from another forum which convinced me to give it a try: """I searched around the web quite a bit and found Eclipse+PyDev to be the most recommended IDE overall. I downloaded just the basic 52MB Ecli

[PyQt] libpng warning: Interlace handling should be turned on when using png_read_image

Since updating from PyQt4.8.5 to PyQt4.5.6-1 using the PyQt-Py3.2-x86-gpl-4.8.6-1.exe Windows 32 bit installer on Windows7, I'm getting the following warnings: libpng warning: Interlace handling shou

[PyQt] 'mouseMoveEvent' for a 'QListWidget' subclass stops drag-and-drop

Why would reimplementing a 'mouseMoveEvent' for a 'QListWidget' subclass stop drag-and-drop? The class below just holds a list of icons. Without the mouseMoveEvent method I can drag the icons around; with it I can't. Under wxPython I would have added 'event.skip()' at the end of my event handl

[PyQt] imageformat plugins under Mac OS X - where are they???

Hi Folks, I've just entered the world of PyQt programming on Mac OS X (Mountain Lion). Mostly an enjoyable experience, but finding my way around the file system is giving me headaches!!! I've installed Python 3.3 and PyQt4 using the following instructions found at http://www.pythonschool.net

Re: [PyQt] pyqt5.1 baffling exceptions: AttributeError: 'Qxxxxxx' object has no attribute 'QWidget'

Hi Stephen, I don't really understand the issues here, but I also saw these kinds of errors cropping up recently when I moved an application from PyQt4 to PyQt5. I think I had at least three different cases of "AttributeError: 'Qxx' object has no attribute 'QWidget'". One case I fixed by n
