Hi "C", I would very much like to do a new edition of the PyQt book, but it will probably not be for another year or two due to other commitments. I want the next edition to be based on Python 3.1 (or later). Also, I am hoping that by the time I'm ready to start on it PySide will support Python 3 and will be sufficiently compatible with PyQt that I can cover both in the same book without confusing readers. For those who can't wait I have converted all the book's examples to Python 3.0 (using PyQt API 1) and to Python 3.1 (using PyQt API 2). I had expected the conversion to Python 3.1 and API 2 to be rather difficult, but in the end it was pretty straightforward, so the differences between what's shown in the book and the Python 3.1 versions of the examples are either non-existent or easy to see and understand. I've put a few notes on the most problematic classes at the bottom of the book's web page: http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html (This is also where the links to the Python 3 examples are located.) On a personal note, last week I finished converting all my own Python programs to Python 3.1 using the 2to3 tool and then manually converting str % usage to str.format(). This includes some PyQt GUI programs that I use every day:-) -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd, www.qtrac.eu C++, Python, Qt, PyQt - training and consultancy "Programming in Python 3" - ISBN 0321680561 http://www.qtrac.eu/py3book.html _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
