by Wolfgang Langner 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

New submission from Wolfgang Langner: The output for "python --help" for the option -B is wrong. It contains also the old pyo files. But they were removed.

[issue29820] Broken link to "GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition" book
by Marco Buttu 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

New submission from Marco Buttu: In [*] the link to "GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition by Boudewijn Rempt", does not work. I did not find an official web page for this book, but it is really outdated (2002), so maybe we can take only the reference to the Mark Summerfield's book, about PyQt4. Let me know, so in case I will open a PR.
