Riverbank Computing is pleased to announce the release of PyQt v3.11 available
from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/.
PyQt is a comprehensive set of Qt bindings for the Python programming language
(http://www.python.org/) and supports the same platforms as Qt. Like Qt,
PyQt is available under the GPL (for UNIX, Linux and MacOS/X) and a
commercial license (for Windows, UNIX, Linux and MacOS/X).
Python is a fully featured, easy to learn, object orientated scripting
language. With PyQt it can be used either as a rapid prototyping tool, or as
an alternative to C++ for developing large Qt applications. Tools are
available for deploying applications as a single binary executable.
PyQt includes the pyuic utility which generates Python code to implement user
interfaces created with Qt Designer in the same way that the uic utility
generates C++ code.
Third party tools are also available - such as eric3, a comprehensive IDE
(including an editor, debugger, class browser, integration with Qt Designer,
re-factoring tools, unit testing tools and integration with source code
control systems). eric3 is written entirely using PyQt and is available from
http://www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric3.html.
