>PyQt is a set of Python bindings for the Qt toolkit.
The bindings are implemented as a single Python module <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>qt</TT
>.
A separate Python module <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>qtgl</TT
> 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.</P
><P
>PyQt also includes the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>pyuic</TT
> PyQt code generator used as a
backend for the Qt Designer GUI design tool.</P
><P
>Finally, PyQt also includes a debugger called <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>eric</TT
>.</P
