This package contains the presentation program and examples for the PyQt for Desktop and Embedded Devices talk at PyCon Italia Tre, the third PyCon Italia conference, held in Florence from 8-10 May 2009.
The presentation program requires Qt 4.5 and PyQt 4.5 to run - snapshots of PyQt 4.5 were used to create the presentation.
Some examples use features, such as WebKit and Phonon, that require Qt 4.4 and PyQt 4.4 or later.
Run the setup.py script supplied to set up the presentation program and slides:
python setup.py
This creates Python modules from the resource (.qrc) and user interface (.ui) files.
To view the presentation, run the main.pyw program in the Presentation directory. For example, at the command line, type the following:
python main.pyw
Use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between slides. Press Ctrl+Q to exit and Ctrl+P to create a PDF file of the slides in the current working directory.
The examples included in the presentation can be run separately. These can be found along with additional examples in the Examples directory.
