  1. I seek a way to design GUI interfaces for Python.
  2. I want one that runs cross-platform (Windows and Linux)
  3. 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).
