custom widgets, using plugins written with PyQt.</p>
<p>Several of the classes in this module (those that implement plugin
interfaces) are intended to be used as mixin classes. As it is not possible to
derive from multiple C++ classes in Python the module also includes additional
classes that are already derived from the appropriate super-classes. All the
additional classes have the prefix QPyDesigner.</p>
<p>For example, if you wanted to add custom entries to Qt Designer's task menu
then you would implement a Python class derived from
<a href="qpydesignertaskmenuextension.html">QPyDesignerTaskMenuExtension</a>
rather than one that derived from <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a> and
<a href="qdesignertaskmenuextension.html">QDesignerTaskMenuExtension</a>.</p>
<p>To import the module use, for example, the following statement:</p>
<pre>from PyQt4 import QtDesigner</pre>
<p>A full description of writing plugins for Qt Designer is provided in the
main PyQt reference documentation.</p>
