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.
