I think it is wrong to make the statement to look in a way that could be treated as "it's a python problem" or "it's a pyqt problem", this is misleading. I think it would be fair to say it's a problem of the pyqt installer for Windows or it's a problem of Windows itself. I think I do have the right to make such a claim, and I can assure you it contains no hidden rants against Windows. I've come a long way, in the past I had to manually build packages for qt4 and pyqt4 from source, because I've started to use leo before my Linux distribution of choice started to package officially qt4 and pyqt4. I NEVER experienced nightmares like those I regularly read on this group and other resources. My concern has a reason. I wouldn't want leo newbies to see these threads and consider that malfunctions are leo's fault, python's fault, or pyqt's fault, while they seem to be specific to a particular setup, involving only a certain operating system. I also have another reason, which is more selfish: I don't scream around that leo is so cool and everyone shall use it, I have a strong posture against such advocating/preaching, but I never miss a chance to tell people about leo when I see that they do something which could be done better using leo and I know how easy sometimes users project the malfunctions of a certain app to the person that suggested it to them :-) I'm not going to advocate you to change your operating system if you use Windows. All I want to say is that if you have no strong reasons against trying a mainstream Linux distribution, you certainly shall give it a try. It's much more suited for hacking (learning/using/ improving leo is certainly true hacking, in the good sense). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
