Dear All,
I am fairly new to Python. I have found it an easy language to learn and
a very usefull one for many tasks. Currently I am working on a python
project that involves a GUI and it was suggested that PyQt is the best way to
design that GUI.
However since PyQt is rather new, I have not found much documentation on
it, or examples in it. The only useful tutorial/book I have found is at www.opendocspublishing.com/pyqt/ but it is not always clear for someone
with almost no GUI experience.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

You might want to follow the QT tutorials that come with the QT
documentation. The best way to read the QT docs is through QT
Assistant. You can design GUIs with QT's 'designer' (it's called that
way, very original name) and convert the .ui files to .py files with
'pyuic'.

If you're at all familiar with C++, or even if you're not, you'll find
Qt's API docs, http://doc.trolltech.com/3.0/ , very handy. I've found that
pyQt correlates almost exactly with them, except for some str QString
conversion issues. I refer to that all the time when I'm doing PyQt code.
Also, I don't know what OS or distro you're on, but there is a set of pyqt
examples out there. In redhat, I used the PyQt-examples rpm (case
sensitive), which installs a bunch of example programs to
/usr/share/doc/PyQt-examples-[version]. Also. as Sybren mentioned, the Qt
tutorial itself should be useful.. Finally, I'll say that the book you
mentioned is excellent, and a wonder source of example code. I liked it
enough that I bought it, and I'm happy I did.
Good luck with PyQt! The only issues I've had were related to QCanvas not
deleting canvas items (and therefore my program leaking them) if I don't
reuse them. I still haven't figured that out, so I just keep track of the
ones I create and reuse them, in order to prevent memory leaks.

Is a good starting point. Subscribe to the mailing list.
Keith Jones enlightened us with: I've found that pyQt correlates almost exactly with them, except for some str QString conversion issues.
Another thing to be wary about, is that "exec" is a reserved keyword
in Python. QDialog boxes, QApplication and perhaps some others that
have an exec() method in C++ are called exec_loop() in Python. Took me
a little while to figure out ;-)

PyQt isn't new. The reason there's not documentation for every API
function is that the Python interface slavishly follows the C++ API
(actually, I believe you can now pay for documentation, but I don't
see the point). The PyQt docs just list the slight deviations from Qt
proper. The Qt docs are excellent, and you really don't need to know
C++ to understand them.

To correct one misconception.. .
PyQt was first released on November 1st 1998. There have been 34 releases in
all. The next release, including support for Qt v3.2.0, will be around August
12th. It isn't new.

We have a product called PyQtDoc that provides a very nice and
convenient interface for all the PyQt information. You can see
information on it at http://www.thekompany.com/products/pyqtdoc/
Best,

Probably when Qt 4.x has been released. If you want to stay current
and free, try Linux instead.

I wanted to run a program that is written in PyQt on my mac, and went

I followed the installation guide except for the compiling python as
Macosx already has python.
I had no problem with compiling SIP and also no problem with compiling
PyQt nor did I have any error message during make install.
