Regardless of your opinion, just remember to keep it polite and reasoned, and that even if a choice is made that you don't agree with, I don't think PyKDE is going away any time soon :-) John. -- Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com ___ PyKDE mailing listPyKDE@mats.imk.fraunhofer.de http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
[PyKDE] kde language poll
Hi all, One of the KDE devs is running a poll about which language people would prefer to be "blessed" as the officially supported KDE scripting language. Currently, it's neck-and-neck between ruby and python, which makes no sense from all the statistics I've seen, so I figured that you guys haven't heard about it yet. I don't have any major objections to Ruby, but I prefer python, if only for the statement by ruby devs that that Ruby will require years more work to be unicode-compliant. So anyway... might want to vote, even if you're a ruby person hanging out at pykde ;) http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2426 -- Lee Braiden http://www.digitalunleashed.com You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving."

This is true. This is in line with dcop specification [1] which says:
KUniqueApplication automatically registers itself to DCOP. If you are using
KUniqueApplication you should not attach or register yourself, this is
already done. The appId is by definition equal to kapp->name(). You can
retrieve the registered DCOP client by calling kapp->dcopClient().

The entry without pid is registered by KUniqueApplication itself, while the
pid entry is created by registerAs() call (in sample application), which is
actually not needed (see [1]) if KUniqueApplication is used.

The problem is that dcop interface created by KUniqueApplication itself does
not work at all. I have removed both attach() and registerAs() in order to
keep only interface created by KUniqueApplication. If you run "dcop "
from command line, it will just hang. Also the error reported by Sebastian
("Communication problem with , it probably crashed.") is still seen on
any startup of the application. I suspect this is due to the fact that
KUniqueApplication uses dcop interface to prevent multiple instances of the
application to run. Good thing is that at least it prevents multiple
instances.

[PyKDE] Newbie: Unable to populate Tree Widget with pyqt4
Hello,
I have a program that goes something like this
#!/usr/bin/python
from PyQt4 import uic, QtGui
import sys
Application = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
UI = uic.loadUi("ElNotes_GUI.ui")
#UI.RepositoryTree.insertTopLevelItem(...)
UI.show()
Application.exec_()
This showes me the interface I put together with qt4-designer. But despite
multiple hours of web search and countless attempts based on code snippets
found, I do not manage to populate a tree widget called 'UI.RepositoryTree' ...
Can some kind soul please tell me how to go about that?
Thanks, Joh
