Phil Thompson provides an exception to the GPL license that explicitly states that you can write modules using PyQt4 and release them under the MIT license (or some other license from an enumerated set of OSI-approved licenses). > The more fundamental question, IMHO, is the status and critical mass of > PySide.

If one is on Linux, it would probably be worth an interested person's time installing it and changing your imports from "PyQt4" to "PySide" and see if it works. OS X and Windows builds are still some time away, but apparently the technical blockers have been fixed. It's just a matter of applied effort, probably. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
