I think we are all arguing from the same side of the issue. I agree that namespaces are important, I'm just asking several questions: 1. Why add an additional namespace for qt4 related functionality (we didn't do this for qt3)? In terms of code maintainability, it will actually save me time

Agreed...  But we are supporting a large body of code that already has many "import qt" and "from qt import *" statements throughout the code...  Having a more standardized way of handling this (rather than providing a 'qt.py' file for every project that uses pyqt) would be much preferrable...

Would we be required to use the from PyQt4 import QtGui? The existing namespace allows us to do "import qt" Could a similar facility be provided? (for maintaining more code compatibility) e.g. In qt.py -- from PyQt4 import * from PyQt4.QtGui import * ... Then we could do something li

[PyKDE] PyQt v4 Roadmap

2005-02-17 Thread Phil Thompson
I've put up a short roadmap for PyQt v4 on the website, and the text is below. Any comments welcome. Phil PyQt v4 will support Qt v4 only. It will not support earlier versions of Qt in the way that PyQt v3 supports Qt v1 to v3. PyQt v3 will continue to be supported. PyQt v4 will require SIP v4.
