QSplitter missing in PyQt on the Zaurus Options

[zenyatta]

Hi all,

The following Python script runs fine on the big box but fails on the Z, saying name 'QSplitter' is not defined:

CODE

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from qt import *
app=QApplication(sys.argv)
split=QSplitter(Qt.Vertical, None)
label1=QLabel(split)
label1.setText("Test 1")
label2=QLabel(split)
label2.setText("Test 2")
split.showMaximized()
app.setMainWidget(split)
app.exec_loop()

Further, grep QSplitter `ipkg files python-pyqt` returns nothing - so the class isn't even mentioned in the Zaurus implementation. The Python packages I'm using come from the 3.3.6-pre1 feed.

Given that QSplitter is such a basic piece of UI I'm quite puzzled as to why it is absent. I can work around this limitation for now, fortunately, but someday I may well need a split pane so it's quite discomforting to see it missing. Is it perhaps there and I'm just looking in the wrong place? Has it been deprecated & replaced by something else? Can anyone provide an explanation? Any advice appreciated.

OK, the Qtopia Overview says:

The modules removed from Qt due to their large size, speed or because they do not belong or are not necessary on an embedded device. For some of the modules, a description is provided if it is not obvious why this was left out of the Qt/Embedded offering for Qtopia.

It then lists drag and drop among those modules like so:

UI:  QTextCodec modules, drag and drop, free type fonts, extra desktop styles (i.e. Motif) were replaced by Qtopia style plugins

I conclude that drag & drop is not available in Qtopia. Can anyone confirm this?

In any case, the semi-complete QTextDrag implementation has just cost me quite a lot of time. Qtopia docs say if you're using whatever's not supposed to be available you'll get a compile error. How come, then, that PyQt compiles and produces this (qt.py)?:

CODE

class QTextDrag(QDragObject):
       def __init__(self,*args):
               libqtc.sipCallCtor(123,self,args)

Is this an Opie-specific libqte2 with a half-baked QDragObject?
