[FIXED] PyQT4 or PySide tutorial about QtNetworking and QtWebkit

Issue

I'm trying to find a PyQT or PySide tutorial that covers QtNetworking and QtWebKit, I can only find tutorials about QtCore and some tutorials how to create bottons and other similar gui. But I'm looking a bit different thing.

Solution

While not really the answer to your question - when faced with the same basic problem - here are the resources I used to get up and running:

• Although a little behind version-wise, a great book with lots of examples and practical design methodology - Rapid UI Programming with Python and Qt - It's written for PyQt, but easily applicable for PySide with minor changes.

• pyside-examples - The pyside-examples collection was usually my first stop in figuring out to write PySide code. They have Python analogs of the C++ examples and cover most subject matters. However, specifically, the qwebkit content is brief at best.

• PySide API documentation - The PySide content used to be easily available at pyside.org (or something similar..), now it's at a funky github address - http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide, which for any paranoid URL hawks out there you can verify as published @ the new Qt project webpage http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide

• If you don't know C++ Qt and you're picking up pyside first - consider familiarizing yourself with the C++ content. There are a lot more tutorials and explanations regarding the C++ code than PySide (Or PyQt). If you understand MVC, signal/slot, async networking, and UI doodads - translating from PySide to Qt C++ won't be painful. But without those skills, the learning curve can be a bit steep initially. There's some stuff to consider like Qt's UI event loop, Qt threads vs. Python threads, etc. (When in doubt, do it the 'Qt way')

• Look at other people's programs - github, googlecode and gitorious have a fair amount of PySide/PyQt projects to pour through.

• If you want a 'kitchen sink' example that exercises a heap of PyQt/PySide's capabilities - I'd suggest spyderlib. it's tough to 'extract' things out of it to reuse, but it does give you a nice foundation to start making changes, re-running the code and observing the changes.
