I want to second that. An extract from the "simple editor" tutorial of
PyQt that I wrote some years ago has this statement:
"""Have I mentioned that all that I know about PyQt I have learned from an
excellent text "Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt" by Mark
Summerfield? Well, I mention it now - it is a great text book. This
tutorial is meant to be a "gentle" introduction to the PyQt world and it
would be a disservice to the reader not to point out the direction to a
more thorough treatment of the subject."""
Your point is really appreciated.
@Aaron Richiger - Mark Summerfield does a great job of revision of python
in the introduction. Good read, indeed.
Al.
