The license file must be copied +to the "sip" directory before starting to build PyQt. + + +INSTALLATION + +Check for any other README files in this directory that relate to your +particular platform. Feel free to contribute a README for your platform or to +provide updates to any existing documentation. + +The first step is to configure PyQt by running the following command. + + python configure.py + +This assumes that the correct Python interpreter is on your path. Something +like the following may be appropriate on Windows. + + c:\python23\python configure.py + +If you have multiple versions of Python installed then make sure you use the +interpreter for which you wish to generate bindings for. + +The configure.py script takes many options. Use the "-h" command line option +to display a full list of the available options. + +The next step is to build PyQt using your platform's make command. + + make + +The final step is to install PyQt by running the following command. (Depending +on your system you may require root or administrator privileges.) + + make install + + +THE REST OF THE DISTRIBUTION + +The "examples2" and "examples3" directories contain some examples (for Qt v2.x +and Qt v3.x respectively) of Python scripts, including versions of the standard +Qt tutorials and examples. + +The "doc" directory contains SGML and HTML documentation for the bindings. +This documentation includes a section describing the differences visible to +the Python programmer between this and the previous version - please read it. + + +Phil Thompson +phil@riverbankcomputing.co.uk |
