PyQT4 – the start

Today I installed the updated version of pythonxy on my old XP box. This is a great package as a whole load of scientific modules are also installed with it. I used Qt Designer to create a couple of GUIs. All well and good, but the next thing will be to work out how to attach code to the GUI. Code such as that below, which creates an “open file” dialog:

from PyQt4.QtCore import *

from PyQt4.QtGui import *

filename = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None, 'Open File', '.')
fname = open(filename)
data = fname.read()
fname.close()
