Thanks for lot of replies. According to sandeep, licensing fee for QT is around 70,000. Is this when we are using QT in windows or it is also for Linux.
I want to learn Python to use for GUI applications for windows. How is the future of Python. If I adopt it as a carrer. thanks Umesh C Joshi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandip Bhattacharya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "The Linux-Delhi mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 22:47 Subject: [ilugd] Re: Python Programming > +++ Umesh C Joshi [10/09/03 16:10 +0530]: > > Now I confused to choose which side of the Python, as GUI(with Qt) or as web > > scripting language.
