Qt 4.5 and Qt Creator combined comprises the Qt SDK, an easy to install package that will let developers create applications quickly and easily. "Qt 4.5 is setting the benchmark for application development," said Benoit Schillings, Chief Technologist, Qt Software, Nokia (and for those who remember, one of the original BeOS developers).

The difference is substantial. It means the difference between being able to create commercial closed source apps and not.


I'm not talking about the difference from the point of view of someone using the bindings, I'm talking about the point of view of this person who you expect to develop the bindings. You really believe someone is going to donate 1-2 years of their time in order that you don't have to pay 350 pounds or so for a commercial PyQt license? What's in it for them?
