Detlev is the eric3 developer - I do PyKDE - so I won't presume to speak for
him, but I'll make a couple of comments.
I hadn't looked at kexi before - it looks (from the web pages anyway) like a
very good and necessary project. Similarly, KFormDesigner looks like a good
idea for KDE developers.
It's probably a little hard to see the overall scope of the projects that
converge on this mailing list. A Venn diagram would be nice, but is a little
hard to do in email. PyKDE is obviously very closely tied to KDE itself.
PyQt overlaps with KDE, but has a large non-KDE Linux and Windows user base
as well. eric3 overlaps with KDE, the non-KDE and Windows users, and could
have an even larger base of Python users who just want a good IDE without
coding for PyQt or PyKDE.
So -- a KDE specific UI builder probably doesn't fit for all of eric3's user
base.
The other problem is PyQt provides pyuic as a backend for generating Python
from QtDesigner output, and PyKDE wraps that with pykdeuic. Is there already
a way to generate Python from KFormDesigner and are the kexi developers
integrating Python in other ways?
