Message: [QUOTE="Ken Godee, post: 1748528"] Follow the bouncing ball... "The Qt c++ doc's are easy to look at and convert over to PyQt " I didn't say C++ was easy to convert to python. The Object-Oriented programming is part of python. All that's left is looking at and converting function/method parameters. Python/PyQt takes care of all the memory/arrays/pointers /clean up, etc. Here's a complete working example in under 20 lines of code that includes a dialog window, button wigdet, and signal/slot. ================================================================== import sys from qt import * class Form1(QDialog): def __init__(self,parent = None,name = None,modal = 0,fl = 0): QDialog.__init__(self,parent,name,modal,fl) # Qt C++ Doc = QPushButton::QPushButton \ # ( QWidget * parent, const char * name = 0 ) self.PushButton1 = QPushButton(self,"PushButton1") # Qt C++ Doc = void QWidget::setGeometry ( const QRect & ) self.PushButton1.setGeometry(QRect(70,55,84,22)) # Qt C++ Doc = void QButton::setText ( const QString & ) self.PushButton1.setText("Close!") self.connect(self.PushButton1,SIGNAL("clicked()"),self.PushButton1_clicked) def PushButton1_clicked(self): self.close() a = QApplication(sys.argv) w = Form1() a.setMainWidget(w) w.show() w.exec_loop() ================================================================== The debates over writing C++ vs Python are all over the list. Even if you know C++ there are many reasons to use python. You can create a program in less than 1/2 the time for starters. "All programmers? I'd say some are just very busy writing code and if they document thier code properly, you should be good to go. Companies with backing, writing a program will bring on a technical writer to produce the docs so the programmers can continue to do what the do best. Open source is a little different. Just trying to keep up with everything in your "free" time is hard to do. Try hosting an open source program and you'll find out. That's the dumbest thing I read in a while. Sounds like you should just be getting your software from compusa. I think NASA has a few technical writers. Of coarse it doesn't say much for the "Meteric vs.US" measurement snaffu. [/QUOTE]
