PyQt v4.2 Released (Python Bindings for Qt)


Message 1 in thread

Riverbank Computing is pleased to announce the release of PyQt v4.2 available 
from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/.

The highlights of this release include:

- The ability to write widget plugins for Qt Designer in Python.
- Integration of the Python command shell and the Qt event loop.  This allows
  developers to call Qt functions dynamically on a running application.
- Integration of the Qt event loop with the standard Python DBus bindings
  available from www.freedesktop.org.

PyQt is a comprehensive set of Qt bindings for the Python programming language 
(http://www.python.org/) and supports the same platforms as Qt.  Like Qt, 
PyQt is available under the GPL and a commercial license.  An evaluation 
version for Windows is also available.

PyQt v4 supports Qt v4.  PyQt v3 is still available to support earlier 
versions of Qt.

Python is a fully featured, easy to learn, object orientated scripting 
language.  With PyQt it can be used either as a rapid prototyping tool, or as 
an alternative to C++ for developing large Qt applications.  Tools are 
available for deploying applications as a single binary executable.

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.
