I'm pleased to announce PyQt4.7 has reached Maemo's[1] Extras[2] repository, making it possible for the first time in Maemo history to write Python based Qt applications for end-users. The most important points of the current port release:
* Qt 4.5 AND Qt 4.6 - PyQt for maemo follows the Qt deployment roadmap (i.e. 4.5 support in Extras and 4.6 support in Extras-devel[3]) * N800/N810/N900 support - yes, it's available and works on all Maemo devices except for the 770 * Now with a proper demo package - no command line magic needed to start dabbling with PyQt - just download python2.5-qt4-doc from the application manager and you get a demo tour application plus all necessary modules and docs to start basic development * OpenGL ES support - unlike previous versions, this one sports QtOpenGL support (you might need additional GL packages !) * Synchronized with upstream 4.7 - this means excellent compatibility with desktop PyQt applications. Special thanks to Phil Thompson for all the help and cooperation, hopefully trunk will benefit from our feedback as well :) * Smallest footprint - Uses the least amount of memory from all available Qt bindings Enjoy ! Regards, Attila --- [1] Maemo is Nokia's embedded Linux platform, used on devices like the N800, N810 and N900 [2] Extras is the repository for "stable", publicly available community supported software [3] Extras-devel contains software under development, a bit like Debian's unstable repository _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
