PyQt4 and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights

What is PyQt?



"PyQt is a set of Python bindings for Nokia's Qt application framework and runs on all platforms supported by Qt including Windows, MacOS/X and Linux. There are two sets of bindings: PyQt v4 supports Qt v4; and the older PyQt v3 supports Qt v3 and earlier. The bindings are implemented as a set of Python modules and contain over 300 classes and over 6,000 functions and methods."

Why do we care? Because OPUS uses PtQt4 for its GUI.

Where does the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights come in? The same place the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence are:

Part III: Intermediate GUI Programming
- Chapter 9 - Layouts and Multiple Documents
\opus\doc\Libraries\PyQt4\Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt\chap09\


which is sourced from:

Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt
The Definitive Guide to PyQt Programming
by Mark Summerfield

An interesting departure from the convention of Lorem Ipsum.

How did I stumble across this? I searched for "birth" (which turns up the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) because I was trying to find the source implementation of the aging, birth and death models to see how they have well...been implemented.
