[Python-press] PyQt v4.3 (Python Bindings for Qt) Released

[Phil Thompson]

Riverbank Computing is pleased to announce the release of PyQt v4.3
available from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/.

The highlights of this release include:

- Full support for Qt v4.3.0.
- Partial functions can be used as slots.
- Many Qt classes now support the standard Python pickle protocol for data
  serialisation.

PyQt is a comprehensive set of Qt bindings for the Python programming language 
(http://www.python.org/) and supports the same platforms as Qt.  Like Qt, 
PyQt is available under the GPL and a commercial license.  An evaluation 
version for Windows is also available.

PyQt v4 supports Qt v4.  PyQt v3 is still available to support earlier 
versions of Qt.

Python is a fully featured, easy to learn, object orientated scripting 
language.  With PyQt it can be used either as a rapid prototyping tool, or as 
an alternative to C++ for developing large Qt applications.  Tools are 
available for deploying applications as a single binary executable.

PyQt includes the pyuic4 utility which generates Python code to implement user 
interfaces created with Qt Designer in the same way that the uic utility 
generates C++ code.
