<h1>Introduction</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
PyKDE is a set of Python bindings for the KDE toolkit. PyKDE makes nearly 700 KDE classes
|
|
|
|
|
and over 10,000 associated methods available to Python programmers.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The Python bindings for the TQt toolkit (PyTQt) must also be installed. The sip library
|
|
|
|
|
must also be installed. This version of PyKDE will support sip 4.2.x. or later. Earlier
|
|
|
|
|
sip 4 versions may work, but are untested.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The current bindings support KDE versions 3.0.0 through 3.5.3,
|
|
|
|
|
and Python 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4. This fileset will work for any supported KDE version.
|
|
|
|
|
This version will not work with TQt1/KDE1 or TQt2/KDE2.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The bindings are implemented as a number of Python modules corresponding to
|
|
|
|
|
the names of the separate KDE libraries, i.e.

<TT CLASS="LITERAL">tdecore</TT>,

<TT CLASS="LITERAL">tdeui</TT>,

Troy Melhase's "pytde_sampler" example application has been added to the examples/ directory. If
|
|
|
|
|
you're interested in making a contribution to PyKDE, expanding pytde_sample to support additional
|
|
|
|
|
widgets and PyKDE features would be a good place to start.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
This release also replaces the original dcopext.py module with an improved version authored by
|
|
|
|
|
Matthias Panzenbock. The original version is available in extensions/dcopext.py.old, but is not
|
|
|
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
konsolepart support has been restored, but only for KDE >= 3.5.0. configure.py now detects lib64
|
|
|
|
|
automatically. Also included are Matthias Panzenbock's DCOP extensions patch and Michael Franz
|
|
|
|
|
Aigner's TDEConfigSkeleton patch, both of which have been in previous snapshots.
