Whether you're building GUI prototypes or full-fledged cross-platform
GUI applications with
native look-and-feel, PyQt 4 is your fastest, easiest, most powerful
solution. Qt expert Mark
Summerfield has written the definitive best-practice guide to PyQt 4
development.
With Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt you'll learn how to build
efficient GUI
applications that run on all major operating systems, including Windows,
Mac OS X, Linux, and
many versions of Unix, using the same source code for all of them.
Summerfield systematically
introduces every core GUI development technique: from dialogs and
windows to data handling;
from events to printing; and more. Through the book's realistic examples
you'll discover a
completely new PyQt 4-based programming approach, as well as coverage of
many new topics,
from PyQt 4's rich text engine to advanced model/view and graphics/view
programming. Every
key concept is illuminated with realistic, downloadable examples—all
tested on Windows, Mac
OS X, and Linux with Python 2.5, Qt 4.2, and PyQt 4.2, and on Windows
and Linux with Qt 4.3
and PyQt 4.3.
Coverge includes
Python basics for every PyQt developer: data types, data structures,
control structures, classes,
modules, and more
Core PyQt GUI programming techniques: dialogs, main windows, and custom
file formats
Using Qt Designer to design user interfaces, and to implement and test
dialogs, events, the
Clipboard, and drag-and-drop
Building custom widgets: Widget Style Sheets, composite widgets,
subclassing, and more
Making the most of Qt 4.2's new graphics/view architecture
Connecting to databases, executing SQL queries, and using form and table
views
Advanced model/view programming: custom views, generic delegates, and more
Implementing online help, internationalizing applications, and using
PyQt's networking and
multithreading facilities
