I'm the project lead of openlp.org, and open source lyrics projection program for churches, and we're developing version 2.0 in PyQt4. Python allows us to very easily implement a plugin system, so that others can write plugins to extend the application's capabilities. We also chose Qt4 because it's cross platform, and it's a really mature and feature-rich GUI library. -- Raoul Snyman, B.Tech IT (Software Engineering) Saturn Laboratories e: raoul.sny...@saturnlaboratories.co.za w: http://www.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ b: http://blog.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ http://raoulsnyman.co.za/ _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
