About PyQt

PyQt is a comprehensive set of Python bindings for the Qt cross-platform GUI/XML/SQL C++ framework from Trolltech. PyQt provides bindings for Qt 2 and Qt 3. PyQt4, a separate set of bindings, covers the Qt 4 series of releases.

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, Mac OS X and the Sharp Zaurus.
