This document describes a set of Python bindings for the Qt widget set. Contact the author at <phil@river-bank.demon.co.uk>.
PyQt is a set of Python bindings for the Qt toolkit. The bindings are implemented as a single Python module qt. A separate Python module qtgl implements OpenGL support. They have been tested against Qt versions 1.42 to 2.3.1, Qt Non-commercial and Python versions 1.5 to 2.1.1.
PyQt also includes the pyuic PyQt code generator used as a backend for the Qt Designer GUI design tool.
Finally, PyQt also includes a debugger called eric.
The changes visible to the Python programmer in this release are as follows.
Added the qtgl module which includes the QGL, QGLContext, QGLFormat and QGLWidget classes, and the gears.py example script.
The QInterlaceStyle is disabled if building against Qt v2.3.0.
The following classes have been added: Display, QDataStream, QDomAttr, QDomCDATASection, QDomCharacterData, QDomComment, QDomDocument, QDomDocumentFragment, QDomDocumentType, QDomElement, QDomEntity, QDomEntityReference, QDomImplementation, QDomNamedNodeMap, QDomNode, QDomNodeList, QDomNotation, QDomProcessingInstruction, QDomText and QTranslatorMessage.
NULL instances of QCanvasItemList, QFileInfoList, QObjectList, QStrList and QWidgetList are now converted to an empty Python list rather than None.
The Custom value was added to QPrinter.PageSize. (Qt v2.3.1)
The following missing methods have been added: QColor.getHsv(), QInputDialog.getText(), QPaintDevice.x11AppDisplay(), QPaintDevice.x11Display(), QPaintDevice.x11SetAppDpiX(), QPaintDevice.x11SetAppDpiY(), QPixmap.save(), QTranslator.contains(), QTranslator.find(), QTranslator.findMessage(), QTranslator.insert(), QTranslator.remove(), QTranslator.squeeze(), QWidget.customEvent() and QWidget.reparent().
The following missing functions have been added: qt_xdisplay(), qt_xscreen() and qt_xrootwin().
A long standing problem where PyQt was unable to distinguish between overloaded methods with similar signatures (eg. QWMatrix.map(int,int) and QWMatrix.map(double,double)) has been resolved. This affects the following methods: QCString.setNum(), QLabel.setNum(), QLCDNumber.checkOverflow(), QString.arg(), QString.number(), QString.setNum(), QVariant() and QWMatrix.map().
