- I seek a way to design GUI interfaces for Python.
- I want one that runs cross-platform (Windows and Linux)
- I want to create apps that can run on my OpenMoko FreeRunner.
This page is about PyQt, which is a set of bindings to allow using Python with TrollTech QT

Development tools
I use ActiveState Komodo as my Python IDE. I recommend it highly even though it costs money. There is a CIX package for Komodo available from ActiveState.
Windows A complete Windows binary package is available from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt It includes everything you need, including the runtime, the designer, the bindings. Quite nice.
Development cycle
Design user interface in QT4 Designer. Save as a .ui file (XML).
Widgets send "signals" when their states change. "Slots" are signal receivers.
