I think this cannot be stressed enough for beginners. Mark's book is a life-saver: for every hour you will spend studying it, you will save days or weeks of puzzlement, web-scraping (for what little there is outside this list...) and hair-pulling.

My entire relationship with PyQt so far has been to write heaps of code first and then spend hours trimming it back to the exact one or two lines that are really necessary (see my recent question about completers and models :-). > Pete > P.S.: You can hire me! Danny, even if you don't hire Pete, do heed his advice, it's the best you'll get ! :-) _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
