The PyQt Build System

The PyQt build system is an extension of the SIP build system and is implemented by the pyqtconfig module. It can be used by configuration scripts of other bindings that build on top of PyQt and takes care of the details of the Qt installation.

class PyQt4.pyqtconfig.Configuration(sub_cfg=None)

This class encapsulates configuration values that can be accessed as instance objects. It is derived from sipconfig.Configuration.

Parameter:sub_cfg – an optional list of sub-class configurations. It should only be used by the __init__() method of a sub-class to append its own dictionary of configuration values before passing the list to its super-class.

pyqt_bin_dir

The name of the directory where the PyQt utilities are installed.

pyqt_config_args

The command line passed to configure.py when PyQt was configured.

pyqt_mod_dir

The name of the directory where the PyQt4 Python package is installed.

pyqt_modules

A space separated string of installed PyQt modules. The Qt module is not included.

pyqt_sip_dir

The name of the base directory where PyQt’s .sip files are installed. Each module’s .sip files are installed in a sub-directory with the same name as the module.

pyqt_sip_flags

A space separated string of the sip command line options used to build the PyQt modules. These should also be used when building bindings that %Import any PyQt modules.

pyqt_version

The PyQt version as a 3 part hexadecimal number (e.g. v4.0.1 is represented as 0x040001).

pyqt_version_str

The PyQt version as a string. For development snapshots it will start with snapshot-.

qt_data_dir

The value of QLibraryInfo::location(DataPath) for the Qt installation.

qt_dir

The root directory of the Qt installation (normally the directory that contains the bin directory).

qt_edition

The Qt edition.

qt_framework

Set if Qt is built as a MacOS/X framework.

qt_inc_dir

The value of QLibraryInfo::location(HeadersPath) for the Qt installation.

qt_lib_dir

The value of QLibraryInfo::location(LibrariesPath) for the Qt installation.

qt_threaded

Set if Qt is built with thread support (always set for PyQt).

qt_version

The Qt version as a 3 part hexadecimal number (e.g. v4.1.2 is represented as 0x040102).

qt_winconfig

Additional Windows specific configuration.
