Superb tutorial, fatalsaint

Guys

lots of activity while I was alseep

i'll update the orignial post based on all the comments so far, and look to pushing into a wiki, and build in Fatalsaints additonal intermediate Howto. I was thinking of doing the same, as I have been knocking up a simple calculator app as an example. I;ll use Fatalsaints example though, and will Windowize it as its clear you non linux blokes cant cope

It wouldn't do any harm to have the calculator example too, mikec, Im greedy for code

Im hoping somebody might make an example for game dev, I miss my easy-peasy symbian GameCanvas class. Possibly not in this thread, but maybe some simple examples using QT or pygame like tiling, animated sprite handling, keyboard input controls, yadda yadda would be brill

PyQt examples are your friend. You have (among many other goodies) both a calculator (widgets/calculator) and a canvas-based sprite animaton example (graphicsview/collidingmice).

And just to save you doing a search. Once you have installed PyQt the examples live In:-

Windows

"Start" -> "All Programs" -> "PyQt GPL v4.x.x" -> "Examples Source" for many tutorials and examples ported from C++/QT to Python/PyQt.

...and if you're looking for them on the N900, they live under /usr/share/python2.5-qt4-doc/examples

Thanks Atilla, I already had them and they are great to have.

It would still be nice to see these individual tutorials expand into other topics because I find I learn more from them. For example, from the examples pack what they lack (to me) is the specific focus on individual topics and the step by step/author's thoughts/reasoning/ability to ask questions like we can get here which helps so much with the "why we do" aswell as learning "what to do".

Aswell as the game dev topics mentioned earlier, I'd like to maybe see a quick tutorial on using PyQt to create/write to and read from a database on the device, capturing an image from the camera to store or use in an application, and other stuffs i cant think of at the mo'.

hi,
everything works fine for me. are there some examples to make a desktop widget with python and qt?

Here is a Python Calculator Example. A few things still not quite working but I figured you guys would want to fix the Bugs

Download from Here

Unzip the directory to get to the source code. Still very untidy from a Python beginner

Main Prog is ncalc.py
Ui File is in the UI directory called calc.ui (load up in qt designer to play with)

UI_calc.py is generated by pyuic4
calcstub.py contains all the program logic to handle the keys
copypaste.py is a stub file to handle menu options (not yet implemented)

To run on your N900 just type
$ python ncalc.py

Here is what you might get with the N900 shiny theme

heya... probably a stupid question....

But i understand the QT creator part (Just about) and can create a form/window screen bit.....
Is there any good tools for editing the python file? (Still struggling with the indents etc...)

Getting very confused searching for pyqt and tools....... i'm getting lost in the world of other languages/tools/code examples..... :| :|
