Riverbank Computing is pleased to announce the release of PyQt v3.15 available
from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/.

Changes since the last release include:

- improved integration between Qt's ActiveQt framework and Python's win32com
  modules
- support for QScintilla v1.6
- support for Python's cyclic garbage collector.

At the moment Qt v4 is not supported.  Existing PyQt customers will receive a 
free upgrade to PyQt for Qt v4 when it is available.

An evaluation version of PyQt for Windows is available that can be used with 
the evaluation version of Qt.

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 (for UNIX, Linux and MacOS/X) and a 
commercial license (for Windows, UNIX, Linux and MacOS/X).

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

Third party tools are also available - such as eric3, a comprehensive IDE 
(including an editor, debugger, class browser, integration with Qt Designer, 
re-factoring tools, unit testing tools and integration with source code 
control systems).  eric3 is written entirely using PyQt and is available from 
http://www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric3.html.
