[PyKDE] [job] Looking for PyQt engineer
I don't know of a better place to post this. if this is inappropriate, I apologize. If there is a better place to put this, let me know. I am using PyQt to write applications for optometrists in the Seattle/Tacoma area. There is a very good market for this kind of software. However, I need to get it done by May for an upcoming convention. So I am looking for help. I am looking for someone willing to work a few months for stock and promises. Unfortunately, that is all I have to offer for now. You won't have to quit your day job (if you have one). You will be able to work at home. I prefer you being in the Seattle/Tacoma area, but, hey, it's not critical. The skills I need most especially are Python, Qt, and PyQt. If you have experience working for very small companies, or working for yourself, that is a plus. If you have perl, postgreSQL, and Linux experience, that will be a bigger plus.

My understanding is that Qt is free on X11 as long as you are writing free software. Qt is not free if you want to write non-free software on X11. If you want to use Qt for windows, you need to pay no matter what. The confusion about the Windows version is because they recently changed their licensing with Windows when they released Qt 3.0. Here's a page that spells that out in more detail: http://www.trolltech.com/products/licensing.html As far as PyQt is concerned, Phil has a similar licensing scheme. You can read about it on this page. http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/index.php The reason why there is a license duality is because of the GPL. The free software version of Qt is licensed under the GPL, so if you want to use it, you have to agree to writing free software. This makes all the people who use Linux, and all the companies who put together distributions of linux happy. But this is bad because you cannot then sell software using the Microsoft model. The GPL intentionally prevents this. So Trolltech and Phil say If you pay me, I will license my software under a different license for you. This makes everyone else who doesn't want to work the Linux way happy. So now you have a choice if you want to write Qt software on X11. You can either write Free Software, or you can try to make a money and write not-free software. Qt's opinion on Windows is that as soon as they make the windows source code licensed under the GPL or BSD or something like that, they will not produce any more software for it for free. I think it is because it is so hard to maintain code for Windows systems, but that is my opinion. -- Jonathan Gardner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Qt perl apache and linux ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
[PyKDE] Using QScrollView to manage a changing list of widgets
I'm working on some software for a client here, and I've been thinking of several ways to handle a situation that has come up more than once. A single patient can have several insurance companies they are subscribed to. Not just the insurances that are current, but previous insurances as well. Most common is only one, but having two or three is very common. One idea I came up with was using QScrollView. It would have only one child -- a QVBox. This is similar to the first method of using it mentioned in the Qt documentation. That QVBox would have the list of patient insurance widgets.The patient insurance list needs to be able to grow and shrink (as I add or remove insurance companies) or disappear altogether and be repopulated (when I switch what patient I am looking at). I implemented something that just lists QLabels rather than patient insurance widgets. One more note: The insurance list is just one tab among many on the main widget. class Insurance_Tab(QWidget): def __init__(self, parent=None, name=None, fl=0): QWidget.__init__(self, parent, name, fl) lo = QVBoxLayout(self,0,6) self.sv = QScrollView(self, Insurance_Tab_ScrollView) self.sv.setHScrollBarMode(QScrollView.AlwaysOff) self.vbox = QVBox(self.sv.viewport()) self.sv.addChild(self.vbox) lo.addWidget(self.sv) def set_patient(self, patient): self.sv.removeChild(self.vbox) del self.vbox self.vbox = QVBox(self.sv.viewport()) if patient: sql = SELECT object_id FROM c_patient_insurance WHERE patient=%d % patient.object_id for i in db.query(sql).dictresult(): print i QLabel(str(i['object_id']), self.vbox) Anyways, it works fine as long as I am looking at a different tab as I change the patient. If I am looking at it, it clears, but won't show what has been added. Any pointers would be great.

After just taking a quick look, there's a couple of things I'd try: first, you might want to try calling the show () methods for the QLabels or QVBox, or otherwise forcing a redraw (show () is usually the best way). Second, you might want to look at QWidgetStack, which is designed for adding/removing widgets (there's an example in the Qt docs). I've had some flakiness (but nothing related to an example like yours) with removeChild, but could just be my code too. Jim, thanks for the tip. As far as QWidgetStack, is concerned, it wasn't quite what I was looking for. However, putting in a QWidget.show() (self.vbox.show()) after modifying the contents solved the problem.

The home page link for that site is currently to riverbankcomputing. What I'd suggest is: I am -- just not in real-time. ;-) 1. Set up a different home page at SF that points to riverbankcomputing for the latest tarballs/releases, and then a section of pointers to the various rpms, addons, patches,etc., either on SF or elsewhere. It isn't really necessary that all of the files be in one place, just the links. It should also reference this list, of course. Phil would then only have to maintain links to that page at the riverbank site to direct people to the binaries. Yes. This is a very good idea. I had this idea in the back of my head -- something like ViM's website where we can share code and examples and tutorials would be really nice. Now I just have to get off my rear and learn PHP to do dynamic pages at SF. Of course, if someone has the time and the expertise, you are welcome to do it. (See Below) It would be really nice to have everyone write a short page for how they get their system to work and what mods they like to make. A page for Windows, subcategoried into 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP and whatever is useful would be good. A page for Linux, subcategoried into Debian, Redhat, SuSE, Mandrake, and whatever distribution any of you use out ther would be really nice. This way, a new user can come to the website, read up on what they need to do for their system, and we can hopefully expand our user base. 2. I personally don't have a problem with giving Marc or Hans-Peter upload privileges at SF (I have admin privileges), although I'd prefer to leave that up to Jonathan. If people want to upload rpms there, it shouldn't be a problem. OTOH, if Jonathan has the time to co-ordinate that, that should be OK too. It seems that anyone can upload, but someone has to pick up the packages and transfer them to the site (admin) within a short period of time. That hasn't worked out very well for me in the past - maybe because of the timezone difference (I'm on the US west coast). The best way is to send an email to me saying that you have the latest package. Then we can discuss the best way for you to get it to me. I can set up a temporary FTP server that you can upload to. We can also agree to a time that you can upload directly to SF and I can get it then. Somebody probably needs to tackle (1) at least. I feel like I should be responsible, but as is apparent from the slack release schedule of late, it's difficult to find the time and I'm also a terrible web site designer. I'm happy to keep PyKDE up-to-date at the source level, but realistically I can't handle much more than that - I haven't kept up on promises I've made here on some other stuff like code for doing panel applets. You should definitely NOT do it. There should be enough people here to pick up what you can't do or don't have the time to do. I agree with Phil that riverbankcomputing is not an option for binaries - Phil gets stuck paying for extra bandwidth from a lot of large downloads, and in addition it ends up being a lot of extra maintenance work for Phil. SF is more than willing to host everything. I think hosting the tarballs at SF is far better than hosting them at RiverBank because of that. Maybe the commercial version of PyQt and such should still be at RiverBank, but the free version should definitely find its home on SF for bandwidth reasons. As Phil also indicated, it would be nice if people would indicate their willingness to put together and support binaries or srpms for a particular distribution/platform/whatever. I'm really not sure what's already available or who's doing what. It would be equally helpful if older versions were made unavailable when appropriate (one of my gripes about SF is that everything stays there forever, including the mistakes I made when uploading). What about packaging policy ? To me this means, how to split packages. For SuSE 8.0 I made -devel and -doc packages, for 8.1 I merged everything together reflect the source structure : There are only three packages, sip, PyQt and PyKDE left. Each contains all of the sources stuff, like libs, docs, examples and sips. IMHO we should provide three super-spec, that everyone can use for every distribution.

[PyKDE] Segmentation falue on exit... caused by QLineEdit?
I am running with PyQt-3.1-Qt-2.3.1.tar.gz and sip-3.1.tar.gz on Qt
2.3.1 (compiled from sources with threading) and Python 2.1.2 (with
threading but not gnu-pth.)
My base system is Linux 2.4.18 with GNU C Library 2.2.
I run the code below, and when it exits (by clicking on the exit button
- X Windows 4.2.0 with BlackBox), it causes a segmentation fault. Other
widgets besides the QLineEdit widget won't cause a segfault. (I have
tried QLabel and QPushButton.)
Also, adding del w at the end after a.exec_loop() solves the problem.
This is odd, because I thought I was running PyQt-3.1 and sip-3.1
earlier with no problems at all. Of course, I have upgraded a lot of
things, so it is hard to tell what exactly changed.
I read in an email from a long time ago that this was fixed in newer
versions. Has it popped its ugly head up again? Or am I just on a really
strange system?
Jonathan
THE CODE:
import sys
from qt import *
class my_widget(QWidget):
def __init__(self,parent = None,name = None,fl = 0):
QWidget.__init__(self,parent,name,fl)
self.input = QLineEdit(self)
if __name__ == '__main__':
a = QApplication(sys.argv)
QObject.connect(a,SIGNAL('lastWindowClosed()'),a,SLOT('quit()'))
w = my_widget()
a.setMainWidget(w)
w.show()
a.exec_loop()
del w

[PyKDE] shaped windows and QWidget.setMask
Someone posted a while ago about how to do shaped windows in Qt. The answer is still I don't know but I have found a clue by looking at the tuXeyes source code. I think QWidget.setMask is what you are looking for. I was interested in what it would take to do something with OpenGL and then using a mask, and this is it apparently. I haven't actually used it yet, but like all things Qt, I doubt there will be a problem.

However, since my computer got fried, I lost that code. But it was very simple, and a query on Google might even show the code. It seems Google decided to throw away your attachment in the archives... I'm curious. The TuXeyes code uses some calls to X to figure out where the mouse is on the screen. Why did they do that? Can't they just call QCursor.position()? Jonathan ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

[PyKDE] Managing more than one installation of PyQt/Sip concurrently
Here's my problem now. I got PyQt 3.0, sip 3.0 compiled against Python 2.1 and Python 2.2. I really like Python 2.2, so when I write something for Linux users, I use Python 2.2. However, I am running a project that uses PyQt heavily, and it needs to work for Windows users, which only have the PyQt for Python 2.1 available, so I got that compiled for Python 2.1 as well. I can set /usr/local/python to point to either /usr/local/bin/python2.1 or /usr/local/bin/python2.2 and everything works great (because python2.1 uses /usr/local/lib/python2.1 and python2.2 uses /usr/local/python2.2). Now I want to have both v3.1pre2 and v3.0 available to both Python2.1 and Python2.2. How would I go about switching those two out? I imagine I could just do make install from the appropriate src directory (that already has './configure make' run in it), but is there a better way? I am, of course, running Linux.

[PyKDE] statusBar() in QMainWindow
I have a widget that is a subclass of the QMainWindow. I want to put some
QLabels in the status bar.
I can set the text at the bottom with something like this:
self.statusBar().message('Hello!')
I get a square box if I do something like this: (no text in the box)
label = QLabel(self)
self.statusBar().addWidget(label)
label.setText('Hello!')
label.setEnabled(1)
I noticed my problem was that the lable had to have the status bar for a
parent, so this works fine.
label = QLabel(self.statusBar())
self.statusBar().addWidget(label)
label.setText('Hello!')
Just in case anyone had similar problems...

[PyKDE] pyuic doesn't mind naming stuff name
I discovered a bug in pyuic. If you build a widget with a custom widget of
class name inside, it will generate code that looks like this:
from name import name
class test(QWidget):
def __init__(self,parent = None,name = None,fl = 0):
QWidget.__init__(self,parent,name,fl)
if name == None:
self.setName('test_AUTO')
self.resize(592,480)
self.setCaption(self.tr(test))
self.Name = name(self,'Name')
self.Name.setGeometry(QRect(290,110,60,20))
This was unexpected behavior. At least pyuic should have said you can't have
widgets called name, self, parent or fl. At best, it should have
produced code that looks like this or something:
from name import name
class test(QWidget):
def __init__(self,parent = None,name = None,fl = 0):
QWidget.__init__(self,parent,name,fl)
if name == None:
self.setName('test_AUTO')
self.resize(592,480)
self.setCaption(self.tr(test))
name = globals()['name']
self.Name = name(self,'Name')
self.Name.setGeometry(QRect(290,110,60,20))

I'm running SuSE 7.1 on an i386. I installed all the default rpm's (PyQt and sip, they're both version 2.2). Everything works great, except there is a bug in pyuic where it fails to insert a self. every once in a while. I am pretty sure a bug like this would've been caught between version 2.2 and 2.4. So I went to download 2.4, and I can't get the thing to compile. I've tried it with the default qt library, with qt 2.2.3 library and I've tried a lot of different combinations. Do I need qt 2.3.1 in order to get it all to compile? Thanks in advance. -- Jonathan PS - Is there any installation help files?
