Python can be Qt - and KDE as well.

In a comment David recently asked me if I had any reading tips on KDE, Qt and Python. I must start by saying that I have done little more than Hello World(TM) using PyQt.

Anyway, David, I would recommend you to start by visit Riverbank Computing - they have sections on both PyQt and PyKDE. They also manage the Python bindings for Qt. Then there is Boudewijn Rempt's book on PyQt GUI Programming with Python Using the Qt Toolkit - a book that I have been meaning to read for years. Finally there are two wiki resources #1 and #2.

Boudewijn's PyQt book is a few years old and may be hard to get. Fortunately a book about PyQt4 is in the works. Here below Mark's email to the PyKDE mailing list on 18-11-2006.

Hi,

Regarding your enquiry about a book, I'm writing a PyQt4 book right now
that I hope will be published by Prentice Hall in the Fall of 2007.
I have wanted to write a PyQt book for some time, since Python and Qt
are my favorite technologies.

My technical reviewers include Phil Thompson and David Boddie, both
familiar to regular readers of this list, and I co-wrote C++ GUI
Programming with Qt 4, so I think it will be a good book.

Regards,
