That will be up to him. The only reason why I know about the work is because our publisher wanted to make sure that our two books didn't cover the same material. He isn't a regular on the mailing list, so I don't know if he even would see this message. I'll let him know that there is interest. Ben

A little birdie has told me that someone else is writing a new comprehensive matplotlib book (I think it would replace Sandros' book). Last I heard from the birdie, he was most of the way done with the manuscript. Based on my experience with the edit/review process, I would guess 2-3 more months to

That's cool. I just found the book provided the right level of detail for me to start using QtDesigner with my projects. I can't speak for PyQt5 but I don't see the concepts have changed much over the past 5 or so years. Agreed though, if you're brand new to python and are only familiar with pytho

"even they don't cover latest enhancements up to six month before print" In my defense, I was making updates at the last possible moment to cover changes in the latest release (1.4.3), and provided vague guidance on things to come, going so far as to replace references to a v1.5 release with v2.1.

No offense, but it really is outdated. Consider that it'll take two years to do the writing and the lecture work the research material is form 2007 to 2008. We now are in 2015. As you can tell from other books which have been published between 2013 and a really helpy book from March, 24th 2015 (

Hi Ryan, wow! This tutorial is one of the best I ever encountered. Nothing is missing, nothing is cryptic or unclear. What I like best is, that it get's along without using Qt Designer plugins or something similar strange. It's a good basis to start. Maybe you should write a book, covering all t

Hi Ryan, could you write down, as a tutorial, how you built the example with the qt designer?In the last hours I read all most everything what can be found on the issue of getting matplotlib running with pyqt5 and the designer but as you realized yourself, there is little to be found handy. I'm

Hello list, A couple months ago, I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to use Qt designer create a GUI with an embedded MPL window. Unfortunately, the Scipy cookbook page ( http://wiki.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Qt_with_IPython_and_Designer) is very outdated. A recent post ( http
