[PyKDE] Kudos and Questions from a New Convert

[Peter Kropf]

Actually, I'm in both the Windows and Unix worlds. We're using Python, PyQt
and Qt for our next generation GUI development work. It'll be deployed on
lot's o' different types of systems: Window 2K / XP on i686 and ia64, Linux
RedHat on i686, ia64 and s390, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, OSF/1, Irix and possible
others. This is one of the wonders of Python and Qt - we have a single
development environment and source tree that runs everywhere we need it. The
creation of the environment and the deployment of the product are the places
where we have to be concerned about platform specifics. From my point of
view, we're just not in a position where we can make a requirement of the
customer to build the final product. They want to receive a ready-to-run
program that has minimum setup and configuration requirements.

On the other hand, I'd love to see Python and Qt available everywhere on
operating systems from the os vendors. That would certainly help with our
deployment efforts ;-)

That sounds like Windows, right? I am in the Unix world. Too many systems to
make binary distributions for everyone.
