oh and as a starter i'm trying to figure out simple things like how to get the battery status....

Seen terminal commands that bring it up, and think i need to parse that to get what i need out.... but kinda annoying there isnt what i would call a system api? - or am i being all microsofty?!

other things - like ip addresses etc....

Can find bits and bobs like this : QNetworkInterface::IsUp

But without examples that pretty much means nothing to me

Eric4 should auto-indent for you.. and have syntax highlighting and I (think) auto-completion too?

eric4 includes a python editor and full integration with qt designer. As a noob myself I found it quite easy to get to grips with and it does a lot of the grunt work for you. In particular it generates the stub files from your ui so you can start banging code in.

See the OP for how to get started with it.

Try getting the iPhone SDK on your Windows.. or Linux computer .

I agree though.. something cross-platform should be easy.

There has to be good IDE's for windows for python.

I've heard good things about netbeans..
PyDev looks decent.

They don't offer the integration with QT Designer though..

For Eric there is a .zip file here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eric...s/eric4/stable

Find the one ending in ".zip" and has a picture of windows next to it.

Extract that somewhere and using python run the "install.py" file.

Hehe, thanks for being patient with me - i suppose i'm soo new to it, that i'm not going to understand it at all, and i really have to go bit by bit, but i just don't like things being made difficult for the sole reason of, well, just to be difficult (Just because lots of people are experts, not all of us are!)

working my way through the funky troll setup now

5. Connecting UI to your Application

OK now that you have done your first prog, you will want to create an app that actually does something with the UI. Jump to Fatalsaints post in this thread for your next tutorial
