This document describes a set of Python bindings for the Qt widget set. Contact the author at <phil@river-bank.demon.co.uk>.
PyQt is a set of Python bindings for the Qt toolkit. The bindings are implemented as a single Python module qt. They have been tested against Qt versions 1.42 to 2.2.4 and Python versions 1.5 to 2.0.
PyQt also includes the pyuic PyQt code generator used as a backend for the Qt Designer GUI design tool.
Finally, PyQt also includes a debugger called eric.
The changes visible to the Python programmer in this release are as follows.
The following classes have been added: QCustomMenuItem.
The following methods have been added: QSlider.minValue(), QSlider.maxValue(), QSlider.setMinValue(), QSlider.setMaxValue(), QSlider.lineStep(), QSlider.pageStep(), QSlider.setLineStep(), QSlider.setPageStep(), QSlider.value(), QMessage.setTextFormat(), QMessage.textFormat(), QPushButton.isFlat(), QPushButton.setFlat() and missing versions of QMenuData.insertItem().
Python objects that correspond to C++ instances that are "owned" by Qt (ie. Qt will call the instance's dtor itself) are now kept alive without the Python program having to keep an explicit reference.
The deprecated behaviour of repr() of a QByteArray, QCString or QString has been removed.
pyuic now assumes that custom widgets are defined in another module and generates code to import them.
The addressbook.py, buttongroups.py and menu.py examples have been added. All of the tutorial scripts have been updated to match those in Qt v2.x.
The documentation has been updated describing how multiple inheritance of Qt classes isn't possible.
