Hi ssorgatem:
I’m afraid you are speaking Greek to me and I don’t speak Greek! However I’m willing to learn enough to dabble to try and enhance the gui.
Can you point me to a good example to work through a simple Qt slot/system tutorial type exercise?
Oh don’t be afraid ;). Qt isn’t that difficult. More, Qt is the easiest and most powerful GUI toolkit you can use with python*.
For documentation about PyQt, you can’t miss it’s fantastic wiki: http://diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/StartPage
There you have some very good tutorials to start with. i still have it bookmarked
Then, you have all the documentation from Qt. Here you have it partially translated into python, with notes on PyQt particularities.Additionally, if you can read C++, tutorials for Qt in C++may be also useful to you, as the classes and methods are the same.
Now, I don’t know if you use a IDE, but the IDE which helped me a lot when I was starting to learn python and Qt was Eric
It’s written in PyQt, and is very symple to write PyQt4 apps with its assitants and helpers. There’s also an Eric Tutorial out there. You’ll be amazed on how little code you need to do cool things. And they’d be automatically cross-platform.
And more specifically, PyQt4’s own documentation has a point about singal/slots on PyQt. It may seem strange at first, but when you get used to the signal/slot system you won’t want to live without it.
*Indeed, everyone says this about the toolkit they use. With Qt, however, it’s actually true
