I have some questions regarding the Python Win32 packages and licensing. I've 'Googled' for an answer and searched the Python Win32 archives but haven't come up with anything.
I have the GPL'ed versions of QT 3.3.4 and Pyqt 3.13 installed on my Windows box (compiled with MinGW). I've created a GUI app (using the above) that prints plot files (*.plt). This app uses win32print. As I understand it, since I've used GLP'ed Qt & Pyqt, if I were to distribute my app, it would have to be under the GPL as well. My question is, would it be acceptable/allowable to use win32print within my GPL'ed application? If I use py2exe, the 'dist' folder contains pywintypes24.dll and win32print.pyd. Would these libraries be able to be distributed with the app, as well? I apologize for the licensing questions especially if this is not the right forum. I just want to make sure that I do the right thing. I do *not* want to distribute something if it is specifically *not* allowed. I've only been doing this as hobby and I'm not a programmer so this is another reason as to why I'm unsure of the correct answers. I would certainly distribute the source code with the program and include any needed copyright notices for the libraries used, if required. At this time I do *not* want to distribute the app, but if I clean it up and get everything working correctly, I may want to in the near future. I suspect that with the recent release of QT 4 GPL for Windows and with the coming release of Pyqt 4 GPL for Windows, these types of questions will come up more often.
