[PyQt] status of PyPy support
Hello, what is the status of PyPy support for PyQt? The PyPy compatibility wiki page (https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/Home#!gui-library-bindings) just says 'Unknown' ?

[PyQt] build packaging tool for pyqt project
Hello, I'm considering what to use for build_system/pacakger for multi-platform Py3(Qt) project using cffi-generated bindings for 3rd party C library and ability to build docs - HTML PDF (user manual) written in reST/Sphinx? There are tools like SCons/Waf as well as Bento (http://cournape.github.io/Bento/) which has its own simple build system (for building python bindings) and even Waf back-end and serves as packaging system. Otoh, I just noticed that setuptools distribute will merge, so the whole situation does not seem to be very clear. Any recommendation what to use for the above, I assume, typical Py3Qt4(5) project? Sincerely, Gour -- It is far better to discharge one's prescribed duties, even though faultily, than another's duties perfectly. Destruction in the course of performing one's own duty is better than engaging in another's duties, for to follow another's path is dangerous. http://www.atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810 ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

However as these differences are things you'd come across very quickly it might be better to start with PyQt4 but switch to PyQt5 as soon as you start to feel comfortable about the Qt way of doing things. Thank you. That's helpful advice...and, of course, thank you for your persistent work on providing high quality PyQt bindings.

Re: [PyQt] Dilemma: Pqt or wxpython

After that, it became obvious that PyQt was the way to go. The wx toolkit was not very friendly to use, reminding me way too much of the bad old days with Microsoft's MFC. PyQt is really cross-platform: something written and debugged on Linux is very nearly guaranteed to work well on Windows, and vice-versa. On wxPython, there was no shortage of platform-specific bugs. I'm in the same boat today...abandoned idea to wait use some working GUI library in D language and decided to learn use python. Personally, I use gtk-based desktop (Xfce) and I like it, but would like to write general-purpose desktop open-source application capable to run on Linux, Mac Windows. I cannot speak about wx's API (un)friendliness and/or platform-specific bugs, but my main concern is that wxWidgets project does not have many active developers... Of course, PyQt is, afaik, mostly one-man show, similar to wxpython and tireless work from Robin Dunn, but, otoh, Qt has much bigger development community. What do you think about my concern in regards to this dilemma and/or some other relevant point to decide properly[1] ? Let me add that I also plan to use Cython (for speed purposes of project's back-end functionality), as well as to use Python3. [1] my project will be done in my spare time, so I'd like to avoid learning and coding in the 'wrong' toolkit which is not properly developed/maintained.

[PyQt] pyqt vs pyside for desktop Android development
Hello! We're starting with Python Qt and plan to write multi-platform desktop app using Python+Qt technology. Moreover, we'd like to write 'lite' app for Android and wonder whether there is any support in PyQt for doing Python+Qt for this mobile OS? We've found this link http://thp.io/2011/pyside-android/ which is based on Pyside... Let me add that we would like to start with Python-3. Which bindings could you recommend to learn (we bought PyQt book) to develop for *both* desktop and mobile OS? License is, we believe, not the issue since we plan to use 3-rd party C-lib which is GPL2+ licensed. Sincerely, Gour p.s. It looks that there is misleading info on Gmane page about this list stating 'posting allowed', although it is not if one is not subscribed to the list. -- As a strong wind sweeps away a boat on the water, even one of the roaming senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man's intelligence. http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810 signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
