Commercial *PyQt* (including a license for Qt for use only with PyQt)
is $400 (USD) per developer (plus an extra $300/year if you want
upgrades).  That's compared to Qt license for use *with C++* varying
from $1690 to $6260.  So PyQt is 4-15 times cheaper than old-fashioned
C++ Qt!

Apparently you get mxODBC in that price, too.  And the Blackadder
development environment itself, of course, though personally I
wouldn't use it.

PyQt 4 now seems to exist, though not as a stable release yet, so I
imagine it'll be a bit longer untill there's a release of Blackadder
that supports Qt 4.  I recall the PyQt 2 --> PyQt 3 upgrade as being
fairly painless (in terms of code changes), though.
