QT usage confusion

[Guyon Morée]

hmmm, all this time that I am fooling around with python I never took a good
look at (py)QT.
I want to have a go at it, after being a bit disapointed about the
alternatives.

I have read multiple docs about it and searched this newsgroup I came to the
conclusion that, as I am a windows user, I have only 2 options:

- buy a commercial qt license
- try it out for 30 days (!)

that sucks

am I wrong?
please tell me I'm wrong.

you can get qt working with cygwin (since KDE works on windows this
way), but
I got no information about pyqt.

You're not wrong although there have been persistent rumors that
Trolltech will (real soon now) provide a free version of Qt
for Windoze. I wouldn't hold my breath.

There is a new Book(look at www.trolltech.com) with the Qt 3.2.1 Windows
non-commerial Version.

You can try demo version of BlackAdder
which provide demo version of PyQt. If you will need
to create commercial apps, then BlackAdder with PyQt
costs about $400 (Qt costs more than 1k how i remember)

non-commerial Version.

Note that on the pyqt-dev mailing list, Phil Thompson has stated that
he has not decided whether or not to support the new non-comm Windows
edition/version.

Personally, I'm waiting to hear if he'll decide to support (wrap)
ActiveQt, the Qt module for support of Microsoft's ActiveX components.
It might then be possible to convince my work mgmt. to buy a slew of
BlackAdder copies.

For more about ActiveQt, see

Let him (Phil) know that! You never know, might be the final push he
needs to do it.
