These are the Python bindings for Qt. You must also have the SIP runtime library installed. The homepage is http://www.thekompany.com/projects/pykde/. Starting with v2.0, PyQt is installed in the site-packages directory of your Python installation (if it exists). If you have an earlier version you should remove it otherwise it may still be used in preference to the new version depending on the value of sys.path for your Python installation. These instructions are for building PyQt under UNIX. If you are building PyQt under Windows then read the file INSTALL.win32. To configure, build and install, run the following commands. ./configure make make install The `examples' directory contains some examples of Python scripts, including versions of the standard Qt tutorials and examples. The `doc' directory contains SGML and HTML documentation for the bindings. This documentation includes a section describing the differences visible to the Python programmer between this and the previous version - please read it. To install the documentation and the examples, run the following command. make install-doc The `sip' directory contains the SIP specification files from which the C++ source code is generated. To install these (so that you can write your own bindings for classes that are derived from any of the Qt classes), run the following command. make install-sip To rebuild the C++ source code after modifying the specification files, run the following command. (You must have SIP installed.) make rebuild-src To rebuild the documentation after modifying the specification files, run the following command. (You must have SIP and sgmltools installed.) make rebuild-doc Phil Thompson phil@river-bank.demon.co.uk
