I fully understand that and I am just starting with PyQt. Currently, I
think it would be great to have a layer on top of PyQt, that makes it
more pythonic. Maybe the declarative layer, Phil mentioned, will help
here. I'll be silent about that until I finished Mark's book and
actually wrote some real code.
