PyQt 4.0 beta 1 released

Riverbank Computing is pleased to announce the release of PyQt v4.0beta1
available from 
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/.

PyQt is a comprehensive set of Qt bindings for the Python programming language
and supports the same platforms as Qt (Windows, Linux and MacOS/X).
Like Qt, PyQt is available under the GPL and a commercial license.

PyQt v4 supports Qt v4 (
http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/index.html).  
PyQt v3 is still available to support earlier versions of Qt.

PyQt v4 is implemented as a set of 8 extension modules containing 
approximately 400 classes and 6,000 functions and methods.

    QtCore
    The non-GUI infrastructure including event loops, threads, i8n,
    Unicode, signals and slots, user and application settings.

    QtGui
    A rich collection of GUI widgets.

    QtNetwork
    A set of classes to support TCP and UDP socket programming and higher
    level protocols (eg. HTTP).

    QtOpenGL
    A set of classes that allows PyOpenGL to render onto Qt widgets.

    QtSql
    A set of classes that implement SQL data models and interfaces to
   industry standard databases.  Includes an implementation of SQLite.

    QtSvg
    A set of classes to render SVG files onto Qt widgets.

    QtXML
    A set of classes that implement DOM and SAX parsers.

    QtAssistant
    A set of classes that enables the Qt Assistant online help browser
    to be integrated with an application.

A Windows installer is provided for the GPL version of PyQt to be used
with the GPL version of Qt v4 (
http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/windows.html).
It enabes a complete PyQt environment to be installed on Windows
without the need for a C++ compiler.

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.  It is also able to load Designer
XML files dynamically.
