Bugzilla Bug 121554

The PyQT4 - Python binding for QT4 are in quite good stage and current
snapshots can be downloaded from:
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Downloads/Snapshots/PyQt4/
PyQT4 also requires a snapshot of SIP4 from
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Downloads/Snapshots/sip4/

SIP4 and PyQT4 must be slotted so they won't screw up PyQT3 and others.

PyQt-4.0.0_beta1.ebuild

An ebuild for PyQt4 beta1.

INstead of slotting, I'm considering adding this as a new package "PyQt4",
since they've changed their upstream name too.

Any Qt/KDE folks want to disagree?

Oh, I don't think slotting is wrong. It's just that for beta1 it'd be necessary
to add lots of 

built_with_use x11-libs/qt use_foo 

lines, so I wanted to wait for the second beta.

committed as PyQt4.  I was unable to finish the compilation due to it failing
on me not having QAccessible installed, but I'm interested to hear your success
stories.

p.masked and all that, plus it may end up moving as a slotted ebuild at some
point.  just wanted to get it in to play with.

Ok, apparently to get it compile you need to have qt with 'accessibility'
USE-flag enabled.

yep, found the same thing.

I think this should be reported to upstream, but I'm not sure where bug reports
go (bugs.kde.org?)

for pyQT or pyKDE - http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/mailinglist.php

This is known upstream. The current snapshot has the relevant fixes.

why PyQt4 and Sip 4.4.3 are masked because:
"# Masked, since there's no compatible pykde version, yet."

I don't need pyKDE to use pyQT :P and why I can't unmask them with:
dev-python/PyQt4 -*
dev-python/sip -*
in /etc/portage/package.keywords?

beta1 fails to build for me, but  I've installed latest sip snapshot (as 4.4.4)
and latest PyQt4 snapshots (wants sip 4.4.4) and it got emerge without errors
:) with
 x11-libs/qt-4.1.3  USE="accessibility cups firebird gif jpeg mysql opengl png
postgres sqlite zlib -debug -doc -examples -mng -nas -nis -odbc -xinerama"

No one said you can't. It's just not possible to break the tree globally (for
those who use pykde).

Fine. I test them occasionally, too. But I do not start to add snapshots to the
tree.

Hm... PyQt v4.0 has been released.

in portage for a while now.
