[jonno85uk]

@furusak81 Yes, pedant.

[MOLLYE1012]

I made my browser but i can't download and i can't see video or picture.

[jonno85uk]

@MOLLYE1012 You need to enable external plugins. riverbankcomputing.co.uk/stati­c/Docs/PyQt4/html/qwebsettings­.html#WebAttribute-enum

@superspeed500 Don't know as I don't use them. Try a mac forum perhaps?

[adamx20]

PyQt and Qt offer GPL and Proprietary licenses. The proprietary licenses are for coders who want to link proprietary libraries, given them a legal option to do so. Riverbank and Nokia cannot 'force' your compiled scripts to be GPL simply because the version you downloaded is GPL. That is why there is a proprietary option.

[clith]

@adamx20 Qt also offers the LGPL licence, which is what this discussion is about.

There is a reason for the LGPL - it allows proprietary software to link with it. The same is not true of the GPL. And PyQt is only GPL, not LGPL.

[clith]

People using PyQt should also know about PySide, which *is* LGPL, unlike PyQt.

[rodrigohaas]

Thank You Very much jonno85uk!

[clith]

Is any update needed for Qt 4.5?

[jonno85uk]

See if it doesn't work first

[clith]

The problem is the license incompatibility. Qt is LGPL, while PyQt is only GPL.

[jonno85uk]

I don't see how licensing code GPL on the back of LGPL code is a problem. Surely GPL and LGPL is compatible with LGPL being the most flexible of the two.

I'm not clued up on the licensing but I know pyqt4.4 built against qt4.5 works fine

[clith]

The problem is that a developer can use Qt 4.5 w/LGPL for a proprietary, commercial app. However, a developer cannot use PyQt for a proprietary, commercial app because it is GPL.

It's that simple.

[adamx20]

Wrong. Any file you make with PyQt is going to be considered output, and the maker of PyQt cannot force that file to be GPL.

[adamx20]

I don't see your point. LGPL is compatibly with GPL and has been so for years.

[darthvesgo]

Here it worked with Qt 4.5.0

[ambir]

I can't find the Qwebview widget in my qt4 designer. :(

Is it disabled by default?

[jonno85uk]

what version on Qt do you have installed? I think it's been there since 4.4.1, maybe 4.4.2.

[polypolyman]

nice!

Where can I find documentation to play with the browser (as in buttons, etc.)?

[jonno85uk]

Create a button, press F4, drag a link from button to webkit widget. Go mad!

However, you miss out a lot of functionality using Qt Designer as a PyQt4 GUI development tool. This isn't visual basic.

[polypolyman]

haha yeah...

I was planning on doing my own coding in playing with it - coincidentally, I just found a book on pyqt programming at my library :P

I'm fluent in python and c - but python trying to be c++ is a bit wacky :P

[jonno85uk]

wow! you have a hell of library there! Tell me about c++, i had to do a module during uni and developed a healthy hated for it. I shall never use it again.

[sharavsambuu]

Wow cool!!!

But i couldn't write web browser on ubuntu using webkit. There are many errors occured. Is there any tutorial available for ubuntu?

[jonno85uk]

It shouldn't really matter what distro you use. Make sure you have qt-4.4.2 and pyqt-4.4.3 installed.
