Re: [PyKDE] GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition (was: dialog/mainwindow question)
Hello, I know this book since yesterday. I found it at http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsarempt/python/tutorial.html and i download it from opendoc. I was surprised to note that the price at opendoc is 49.95 $ whereas in Paris at Le monde en tique the price is 113 ? as about 113 $ I phoned to Le monde en tique, the salesman said the difference in price corresponds to the transport charges of DHL. Do you have another solution to buy this book. While waiting I have the book in form pdf and I printed it too. I think indeed the writing style is very good and the Introduction to Python is good in my case because i have read the tutorial. I like this book.

France is not really a good place to buy imported books, the prices are much too high. Even for CNRS use, we buy scientific books (often from the US) through German and English bookstores. I think indeed the writing style is very good and the Introduction to I agree, it's a good book. Now we just need to get it on bookshelves everywhere, as a first step to world dominance ;-) Konrad. ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

Best greetings Gerard Breiner Institut D'Astrophysique Spatiale Orsay FRANCE Hi Gerard, your bookstore is ridiculous. I bought mine at Lehmann's Fachbuchhandlung here in Berlin for 58.75¤ last summer (when the euro exchange rate was much worser than now, but with an US price of $49.95). IIRC, it took them about 4 weeks for my order and sadfully, they still have at least one copy from that order of 5 (I've spend 100¤ there today [LDAP/OpenSSL/Linux Journal])...

[PyKDE] GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition (was: dialog/mainwindow question)
I heard Boudewijn Rempt said: I discuss this issue quite extensively in my book: have you seen it? (In case not: http://www.opendocs.org/pyqt -- if you find it useful, please buy a paper copy.) Oh, speaking of which. Your book is nice. I *want* to buy it. Only, no library I've been to has its ISBN in their database, so I ended up ordering it off Amazon (only the American site seems to carry it, too, but at least their overseas shipping costs are reasonable). It was months ago. They've still not found a copy to send me. Any idea about what's up? I'm sure your publisher could use the money about as much as I could use your book. :) -- S. ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
