================================================================


Status:

	Alpha, although its getting there.


Installation:

	Pre-requisites:			

		* qt-1.40 from www.troll.no
		* Python-1.5.1
			I haven't tries it on earlier versions but it 
			should work
		 
	Procedure:

		Note: On my machine qt-1.40, Python-1.5.1 and qpx-0.2 are
		      all under my /usr/local directory

		 

		1) Install pythonqt-0.2, this is right under the qpx-0.2
                   directory.
			a) There are 4 paths in the Makefile that you will
                           have to edit so that make can find the python 
			   and qt libraries.
			b) It should build fine.
		2) Setup your PYTHPATH to include both the pythonqt-0.2 and
		   plugins subdirectories.

Running the demo:

	python main.py test.xml &

This should bring up a notebook with some widgets. If you look at the
test.xml file you will see that this was created with a markup language.

This is still a proof of concept system, and alot of work is needed before
it will become stable. However, I believe the idea is sound. Ultimately
I want to make this the front end of KOM so that arbitrary KDE applications
can be manipulated using XML. Wish me luck ....



TODO:

	Depending on how many people I can get to help me. Ultimately
	I want to be able to manipulate all of KDE from within XML.
	Other bindings such as gtk would be cool too.
