Rapid Application development using PyQt and Eric3 ... in realtime!

Now, this is not a tu­to­ri­al in the sense that you gonna learn how to do stuff.

How­ev­er, it may show you what is pos­si­ble!

So, hop in and en­ter the won­der­ful world of one evening of de­vel­op­ment in the com­pa­ny of PyQt, Er­ic3, and Python.

great. i'm looking forward to the next issue

Thanks for this great presentation.

Have you noticed that the source code isn't downloadable?

I would be happy to read all the source code.


Roberto Alsina / 2006-04-03 05:28:

Possible bugfixes:



It seems the issue with only drag-copy working is because dropNote is calling event.accept() instead of event.acceptAction()!



In the second release (maybe next week) I will explain this better, and add other functionality to notty.

Roberto Alsina / 2006-04-03 05:29:

Oops. It is .tar.gz, not .tgz . Should be fixed in a minute.

Really nice, Roberto.



Some ramdom notes:

- window.py is a bit white space damaged

- Window.getChildren() looks unfinished

- Window.close() should read:

def close(self,alsoDelete=True):

self.fileSave()

return WindowBase.close(self,alsoDelete)



and a tip for RPM junkies (like me :-):

Instead of running "python setup.py install" for the additional packages, better use: "python setup.py bdist_rpm", and install the resulting noarch.rpm.

Neat app, reminds me of Leo (http://leo.sf.net) but simpler and acts as a note taker rather than a full programming editor.

Roberto Alsina / 2006-04-03 05:31:

The white space damage is caused by copy&paste;, mostly. It should work, though ;-)



Thanks for the other tips, but I haven´t done a setup.py for this baby yet :-)

Roberto Alsina / 2006-04-03 05:32:

There´s also Treeline: http://www.bellz.org/treeline/index.html



These things are much more ambitious and complex than Notty, though :-)

Nifty story!

Gracias por el relato, Alberto.



I tried to follow along by running Qt and Eric3 myself, but I lost the trail on the first entry into Qt, as I didn't know what widgets you were using. A good addition to your story would be a subtext or sidebar that explains a little about what you did in Qt. For instance, how do you create WindowBase Class in Qt? I can't figure it out!



thanks for providing all of the code; I'm able to download it and open it up in Eric3. I don't get anywhere with it, though, since it requires docutils.core. Where would I find that? Time to google...

Roberto Alsina / 2006-04-03 06:30:

Ok, late answer, but...



docutils.core comes from docutils :-)



http://docutils.sf.net



You can see what widgets I am using by opening the .ui files on Qt´s designer and looking around.



But anyway:



A QTabWidget containing a QTextEdit and a QTextBrowser, and on the left side a QListView.



If you have any problems, just email me (small envelope on the right side of my pages)
