Thanks, yes that is how I came across Spyder, somewhere in a numpy or scipy discussion. However, as a lazy scientist I like to find my input data with gui and alter/fine-tune parameters alter options etc. with spin-, list- and check-boxes. The convenience of having the inputs and the outputs in a grid and a mathplot figure together in an organised window adds to that. That's where Qt4/PyQt4 comes in. Not having to bother about the inner workings of the sender-signal-slot system would leave more time for numerical math or for just being idle. Possibly I should invest some more time in reading QtDesigner and PyQt4 documentation, understanding something can save a lot of time too :-).
Cheers, Janwillem

Hi Janwillem,

As you probably know, Spyder is more oriented to do scientific computations than GUI programming. That doesn't mean your request is valid, quite the contrary, it'd be quite handy to have in Spyder. It means someone have to stand up and implement it.

The other way around is that Eric devs adopt our code to fill their needs, since it's MIT/BSD licensed (unfortunately we can't do the same because theirs is GPLed). For example, I developed a little library to do import completions here:

Cheers,

I have been using Eric5 for some while. I like it in particular
because of the simple way it offers for generating python code for the
PyQt4 slots and signals. It relieves one from the need to realy
understand slots, signals, events et cetra. However, I never could get
code completion to work properly. If I e.g. type sys. then I only get
the sys methods already used in my own source. In Spyder on the other
hand you get all sys methods listed which is for somebody with a
memory like mine very convenient. In Spyder you can start QT4Designer
but after that it stops; I cannot find more PyQt4 integration in
Spyder. So for now it seems Eric5 for the PyQt4 part and Spyder for
all other source editing. There must be a better solution. Any
suggestions welcome.

P.S. My backgound: 15 years Delphi-1 through 7 and since a few years
Python (on linux) mainly command line + matplotlib.
Placed on both Eric and Spyder lists
