Also regular Freshmeat release entries would serve this purpose. Last one 
of PyQt is from july with version 3.3, and for PyKDE from may with 3.2.4.

[PyKDE] Getting control over the Tab key

2002-10-23 Thread Konrad Hinsen
This is more a Qt than a PyQt question, but Pythoneers are so
knowledgeble... :-)

I am trying to get control over the tab key in my application's main
widget. But even redefining keyPressEvent() for the main widget
doesn't help, the tab key events never arrive. At what level are they
filtered out, and what can I do against that?

Konrad.

o moved yellow box
o added different navigation-bar background
o added "logo"
o some geometry cleanups


The whole stuff looks a bit kde-ish, but that will change with different 
images. Some thing I totaly forgot : I only have a LCD panel here, so the

They may be filtered out by the widget that has focus, it's hard to
tell. If you want to make sure that you catch all the tab key events,
have a look at QObject::eventFilter() and QObject::installEventFilter().
Installing an event filter in the QApplication will catch all events,
but it also means routing all events through the event filter, which
takes it share of resources.

The name Py.Heaven is really more or less random. I wanted the tokens "Py", 
"Qt" and "KDE" to appear within the name, but I found nothing sensible. 

I appreciate your feedback about the name, but I'd also like to hear your

That's what he means. It's similar to... "liebschen" if my high-school 
German serves me correctly.

It can also be used as a descriptive word meaning that some person 
_looks_ cute or attractive. I actually tend to think of it in these 
terms rather than a term of endearment.

My German is virtually non-existent any more, but it would be
somewhat of a cross between "liebchen" and "scho/"ne Ma/"dchen".
Scho/"n ~= cute -> cutie (sounds like 'Q t'), which is sort of a
"diminutive", like adding "-chen" on the end of word auf Deutsch
(??) It's more like baby talk. Sorry, I can't do umlauts, and my
spelling is probably off too.  (Babelfish was no help either)

It's kind of like trying to translate one of my mother's favorite
jokes (she was born in the US but grew up in a German speaking
household): if you asked her "Was ist los?", her reply was always
"Alles was nicht angebundant ist". In English that becomes "What's
wrong?" - "Everything that isn't tied down". It loses something in
the translation.

I tried that, but how does one define an event filter in Python?
Here is what I tried:

  class FilterObject(QObject):

  def eventFilter(self, object, event):
  sys.stderr.write(repr(object) + ':' + repr(event) + '\n')
  return 1

  app = QApplication(sys.argv)
  ...
  app.installEventFilter(FilterObject())
  ...
  app.exec_loop()

This doesn't crash, but doesn't do anything either, the event filter routine
is never called.

That's because you aren't keeping a reference to the FilterObject instance so 
it gets garbage collected immediately.

That seems the perfect solution to me. The two concerns are really
access and control (along with co-ordination and convenience), and
linking is sufficiently transparent to solve the access part
without doing any harm to the control part. A lot of projects seem
to do something like this.

This is open source - we love to duplicate efforts (look at the

I don't know enough about rpm to know if this is feasible, but I've
wondered if it's possible, and it certainly seems desireable. If
someone can make a start on a .spec file that does this and provide
me a little support, I'll be happy to try and maintain it for
PyKDE. We used to autmatically generate a .spec file (in the
Makefile I believe), but I never paid much attention to it.

Yes, making the page look like kde wasn't my intention (althogh all icons you 
can see are were stolen from several  kde-iconsets - i hope i can use them).
I replaced the logo in the upper left with a quick-and-dirty replacement, 
until I get something better. 
Placing all logos on the page is impossible. I tried it. I downloaded all 
logos, but even with two it looks terrible. Adding more than one logo to the 
top-bar would only be possible with a complete redesign. The only place which 
has some additional room is the top right, but this place is reserverd for a 
very small graphic to loosen things up a bit.
All those logos certainly will appear (at least if I get permission from the 
copyrightholders) somewhere, e.g. under "Background".

It is my intention to reserve the main-eyecatching field within the middle of 
the screen for pictured advertisements. I'd like to keep this one for a 
couple of week and replace it when major changes appear. 
The logo top-right is meant for this purpose too, to get changed from time to 
time. This should make the page a bit more living (and makes you hopefully 
come back to see what "they" invented this time).

Links to them will be placed, but imho they should be placed one level below. 
They are not that important and the space on the left is very valuable. Also, 
I'd like to keep the information on each level (especiall the top) easy, to 
allow users to "pull" what they need.

Thanks. I added it to the down-left. It fits pretty nice there and is (in a

:) But I'm not that important, too. So, in order to find the appropriate place 
for the sf-logo, I removed the (c) link. It will appear either within the 
document-source, on the end of the page or on "authors"

Again, thanks a lot for the feedback. Thats helps me to go an, and shows me

If you can draw it, I'd really be interested for a replacement for the logo on 
the page. I'm a terrible artist, so I tend to make everything geometric - but 
I love  courved, living, colorful stuff without angles. If you have something

Now that you mention it, I can't remeber every hearing "liebchen"
at home, but definitely "Schatz" or "Schatzie". "Liebchen" is the
stereotypical "Hollywood" word used in dialog with German
characters - I'm pretty sure it occurs in a scene is "Casablanca"
for example - as in "my little liebchen". Now I wonder what the
derivation of that word is ...

Why don't you use the Wiki on python.org? There is a section for PyQt which I 
put introductory, "PyQt is great" type stuff in. It would be one way to give 
PyQt greater exposure to the wider Python community.

I'm preparing SuSE packages. I'm trying to pack them for the lastest version 
thats available via YOU.

In addition, I'm experimenting a bit with a PyQt/PyKDE development-portal.

I think, out of a *user* point of view (user is everyone who wants to use Py*, 
not develop it) binary packages are far more important then source packages. 
While improving the source setup surly is something important, providing 
painless binary packages for all major distributions will have (imho) more 
impact.

Ack. I haven't thought about it, when I last uploaded the binary packages to 
sf. But I guess we have to time it anyway, because the files within /incoming 
tend to get remove quite often.

As I said, I made a draft for review. But currently, I dont know where it is 
:(. The one who's responsible for giving approval - please ...

(Or does anyone have a place where I could upload this ?)


See, this is one of the largest problems I currently have (besides my 
fundamental lack of money) : Where to put files ? It's alway a pita publish 
something thats larger then 40k.

Yep, but see below.

Personally, I tend to "one place to rule them all". Again, simply out of a 
users point of view. Out of political reasons, I surely understand that you 
want to host your files there, as it gives you some part of image (i hope you 
understand what i mean) and serves as advertisement. So there's nothing wrong 
with it, but I wouldn't duplicate the sources (at least not if riverbanks 
host is stable enough). What about this solution :
Keep the sources on rbc, everything else on (e.g.) sf. And provide transparent 
links on sf that link to the sources, with a comment "maintained at 
riverbankcomputing".

Let me make this clear - Riverbank will be the home of all software that 
Riverbank develops. Whether or not people take copies and put onto other 
sites is up to them.

That, to me, is the ideal solution.
