QT , Wxwidgets are not just UI framework ?

[Deep_Feelings]

qt include many libraries : network , threading,database ..etc while
Wxwidgets seem similar but with less scope

my question is : does these frameworks replace python's (or any other
language for that matter) built-in libraries ? or python does not
include that sort of libraries ?

thankx

Some it includes, others it doesn't. And they come with different features.

While python comes with a lot of included batteries, for some things you
need a more powerful generator - that's where 3rd-party-libraries come into
play.

There are plenty of discussions about which GUI-toolkit is the best - google
this group.

However, mostly people agree that Qt is the most powerful, but often was
debunked because of it's licensing. This has changed to the much more
liberal LGPL for Qt4.5.

Now it might be though that you'd still need to buy a license from Phil
Thompson for his excellent PyQt-wrapping - but I'd personally say it's more
worth than it actually costs given the power of Qt.

thank you

considering that wxwidget is open source and free do you think that QT
lisencing is worth it ?

What do you think I wrote the following sentence for?

wxWidgets, Qt and PyQt are all open source and free - just not the same
open source license.

Both Qt and PyQt *ARE* open-source AND free (libre) software.
Qt is GPL and LGPL (you choose) and PyQt is GPL only.

If you don't like GPL or LGPL (why wouldn't you ?!?) then you can also
get a commercial license too.

Can PyQt be used in the Qt Creator IDE?

I don't know - ask on the PyQt or Creator mailing lists.
