PyQt binary for Windows....but?

[Dincer Aydin]

VC6 is needed for C++ development with QT. pyQT has a binary version
for the non-commercial QT. The installer file is
ftp://ftp.thekompany.com/pub/PyQt/PyQt-2.5-Qt-NC.exe (4.4 MB). The
non-commercial QT installer is at
ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/non-commercial/QtWin230-NonCommercial.exe
(10.8 MB), if you do not have it yet.

After installing QT and pyQT , I tried running some of the pyQT
examples but sip.dll could not be found. I manually put it in the
python21/DLLs directory , and all worked fine.

Also, I noticed a small caveat in the non-comercial QT. The main
window caption always starts with "[Freeware]". I noticed that if the
caption you set up has the letters "Qt" (case sensitive), "[Freeware]"
disappears.
 
While not complete, the book at
http://stage.linuxports.com/pyqt/book1.htm may be worth taking a look.
