- PyQt - Python Bindings for the Qt Toolkit
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- These are the Python bindings for Qt. You must also have the SIP Python
- bindings generator installed.
-
- The homepage is http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/.
-
- The homepage of SIP is http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/sip/.
-
-
- COMMERCIAL VERSION
-
- If you have the Commercial version of PyQt then you should also have a
- license file that you downloaded separately. The license file must be copied
- to the "sip" directory before starting to build PyQt.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Check for any other README files in this directory that relate to your
- particular platform. Feel free to contribute a README for your platform or to
- provide updates to any existing documentation.
-
- The first step is to configure PyQt by running the following command.
-
- python configure.py
-
- This assumes that the correct Python interpreter is on your path. Something
- like the following may be appropriate on Windows.
-
- c:\python23\python configure.py
-
- If you have multiple versions of Python installed then make sure you use the
- interpreter for which you wish to generate bindings for.
-
- The configure.py script takes many options. Use the "-h" command line option
- to display a full list of the available options.
-
- The next step is to build PyQt using your platform's make command.
-
- make
-
- The final step is to install PyQt by running the following command. (Depending
- on your system you may require root or administrator privileges.)
-
- make install
-
-
- THE REST OF THE DISTRIBUTION
-
- The "examples2" and "examples3" directories contain some examples (for Qt v2.x
- and Qt v3.x respectively) of Python scripts, including versions of the standard
- Qt tutorials and examples.
-
- The "doc" directory contains SGML and HTML documentation for the bindings.
- This documentation includes a section describing the differences visible to
- the Python programmer between this and the previous version - please read it.
