PyQt Documentation

Question

I have installed PyQt GPL v4.6.2 for Python v3.1 and Qt by Nokia v4.6.0 (OpenSource), but the documentation in PyQt is not coming up. Example docs are all blank too.

Would anyone mind writing a step-by-step guide on what links to visit and what procedures must be executed in order to get text to come up for the PyQt Documentation?

Edit: The programs are running on Windows, and the documentation is not coming up in PyQt GPL v4.6.2 for Python v3.1 > Examples > PyQt Examples and Demos and PyQt GPL v4.6.2 for Python v3.1 > Assistant. What needs to done to let both programs access the docs?

Answer 1

Whenever I need to look at the docs, I just google for the specific widget I'm interested in. For example: QTreeWidget. Sometimes you get an older version of Qt, but if you click the "similar" link on the search result, you can pretty much always find the right page.

Answer 2

The PyQt documentation is exactly as provided on the website, and as included in the installer. It is not integrated with Assistant (it will be in a future version). If you want to use Assistant then you can use the Qt documentation instead (a lot of people do) and translate between C++ and Python as you read it.

Answer 3

Not sure about the standalone docs, but have you also looked at (this post is a cw, so feel free to edit):

PyQt's Classes, adapted from the documentation provided with Qt 4.5.3.

and

GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition?

The last one has some really deep and helpful (at least to a novice I think) advice (for example: Python Objects and Qt Objects) while being a free book.
