Dear all,
I was wondering if there is a GUI part of the RDKit. From the various
documents it looks like there is, but I don't seem to be able to find
it within the Code folder. Is this a commercial component or under a
different licensing scheme?
Many thanks,
George.
Hi,
Someone asked this a while back. I've quoted Greg's reply below (I
understand he's on holiday at the moment, and usually the only person
who can answer questions!)

PyQt3 for Windows was a commercial product and, as such, never really
available for free download from Riverbank. Since Qt3 has been
deprecated for quite a while, it makes sense that Riverbank no longer
provides PyQt3.
What this means for the RDKit GUI is that it's not useable on Windows
unless you have an existing PyQt license.
To change this, the RDKit GUI code would have be ported to use PyQt4.
This is a big change that would take a lot of time. Since I don't use
most of the GUI code anymore, I am unlikely to find the time to do the
port anytime soon. The one exception to this is the SDView
application, which I will probably get fully updated sometime this
year.
Charlie, what exactly do you want to do with the GUI ?
Best Regards,
