\"Python<\/a>I have been trying to Program some simple applications with my MAC OSX machine and Python but using a modern GUI feel.<\/p>\n

I found Python to be easy syntax and wanted a similarly easy interface building tool.<\/p>\n

I found that QT from the Nokia<\/a> site would do that but it was a long process to get it all installed properly.<\/p>\n

Python comes pre-installed on OSX so that bit is straight forward.<\/p>\n

The install of QT is a bit more complicated. Need to download the SDK<\/a> form Nokia but as well the Libraries Package<\/a> from a second place on the Nika Website. Then you need to run the install procedures of the various packages including SIP and pyQT. (Documentation is in the downloaded directories).<\/p>\n

Then you have to change the configuration of the QT Creator to allow for compiling on QT even if really you will only use the “Design” part for the GUI.<\/p>\n

update configuration of project\nClic Projects on left of main window\nGo to build settings \/ build steps\nClic Details\nsetting to add \"-spec macx-g++\" in the additional argument\nrebuild everything so that config change is applied<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Once the GUI is designed on QT, save the .ui file, then “process” the file with the tool :<\/p>\n
then you can run the pyic4 program to convert the .ui file into a full python program.<\/p>\n
pyuic4 -x mainwindow.ui -o program.py<\/pre>\n
Here is a quick video describing how its done : Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Just got it working now on my machine and managed to get a ridiculously simple running, now need to find the time to learn the language etc…<\/p>\n
