There's no harm in using the designer, but some advantages of manual coding are - (a) You have absolute control over code, (b) Well written code is self documenting, so you have a list of exactly what changes you have made to default properties of each widget and (c) This may not be important in many situations, but your own code tends to be smaller and neater than the generated code. I sometimes use the designer to do an initial layout and then copy and paste modified bits into my final code. This is especially helpful when you're still learning the relevant calls for various properties of widgets. Of course, doing it manually negates the advantage of having a separate and easily modifiable file for the GUI components, but I personally find the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. BTW, there isn't a problem with "manually it would be very hard to place stuff at proper positions" because Qt uses layouts like Java unlike say Visual Basic. So usually one doesn't position things using coordinates, just specifies the hierarchy. For example you're telling it that there is a dialog containing a frame containing a horizontal layout containing 3 buttons and an image. Actually compared to drawing out a dialog box in VB, using the Qt designer is a little more complicated because of this. But the initial complexity pays some nice dividends for both the end-user and the programmer: automatic widget positioning and layout allows easy resolution-independence, simple resizable windows and ultimately convenient portability. P.S. I'm wondering if this thread isn't getting a bit too far off topic for the list. BTW, comp.lang.python is a very useful resource for this sort of stuff.

Saving multiple values returned by cut command into different variables
by Pascal Nunes 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

hi, I am writing a shell script where I retrive values from a text file using cut. I want to save these into variables. The script is something like this... grep searchtext file | cut -f 1,3,7,8 I want to save the values returned by cut into 4 different variables. Can anyone suggest a method to save these values into multiple variables? Is there any better method to do this? - pascal. -- Any tool is only as good as it is used. .:[ http://pascal_nunes.blogspot.com ]:.

In my experience it requires quite a bit of work - I found it easier to rewrite one of my own programs from scratch rather than modify it (the logic could be copy/pasted, but the GUI I rewrote). The changes are definitely for the better, but if you're not the original author of the code you can expect it to be quite painful to modify it to use the new version. Some of it is fairly mechanical - searching for the new location of various functions and changing calls from QPushButton() to QtGui.QPushButton() etc. Other changes are more subtle, like changes in behaviour and deprecation of some widgets. > 2. can you kindly provide me with some good pyqt (using qt4 designer) > tutorials? the net provides qt4 tuts but not with designer :( I don't really use the designer myself so I haven't looked, I find it is easier to maintain code I write from scratch rather than worrying about exactly how the designer & pyuic decide to do things. As Pradeepto Bhattacharya pointed out, the Qt4 documentation and examples are helpful - assuming you're conversant with C++. There are also some useful examples of PyQt4 code at: http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=33&confId=44 You might also look at: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/PyQt4 Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

You no longer use "import qt" The library has been split functionally and you typically use something like "from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui" There are many other differences from previous versions and when I switched directly from 2.13 to 4.0 I got quite a shock - all older programs need significant work to be fixed. Since you're starting from scratch, make sure that you use documentation or books that are up-to-date and refer to Qt 4.x, otherwise you're going to get very confused.

I want to know if imap is used by all popular email servers. I will need to send emails to gmail, yahoo, msn (unfortunately) and rediffmail. may be sify also but that's not sure. so when I write my program in python and asuming it is running on gnu/linux, should I program for imap given the above email servers? also do let me know what else will I need to have on my linux box, msmtp? or any thing else? I asked on the python list and they say nothing is really needed. thanks, Krishnakant
