About PyQt
PyQt is a comprehensive set of Python bindings for the Qt GUI/XML/SQL C++ toolkit from Trolltech.
PyQt implements around 300 classes and over 5,750 functions and methods including:
- a substantial set of GUI widgets
- classes for accessing SQL databases (ODBC, ["MySQL"], ["PostgreSQL"], ["Oracle"])
QScintilla, [http://www.scintilla.org/ Scintilla-based] rich text editor widget
- data aware widgets that are automatically populated from a database
- an XML parser
- classes for embedding ActiveX controls on Windows
Earlier versions of PyQt included a graphical debugger called eric, written using PyQt, which can be used to debug PyQt and ordinary Python console applications. It's now available separately as eric3 from http://www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric3.html.
PyQt includes pyuic which generates Python code from GUI designs created with Qt Designer. This makes PyQt very useful as a rapid prototyping tool for applications that will eventually be (partly or completely) implemented in C++ because the user interface designs can be re-used without modification.
PyQt is available for Windows, UNIX/Linux, MacOS X and the Sharp Zaurus.
