Yes, I've executed them and I've looked at the source code. Same with
the ones from "BlackAdder" (which seem to be a subset of PyQt's).
Seems to me like pretty clean code but unfortunately it's not
commented at all.

Hm, the "Qt Tutorial #1 - The 14 Steps" seems interesting although the
code itself is C (or C++?) and I don't speak C. But I'd still prefer
some "working code" relating to my own modules, so I could "fiddle"
and experiment. "Analog clocks" - as beautiful as they are - seem to
me a bit "academic".
