This page contains links to some useful code snippets. Longer, more detailed code examples can be found via the Overviews and Guides page.

Put any code snippet for PyKDE and PyQt that you find useful here. If the code is longer than one screen at normal point size, it might be better if you provide a rationale and a link, or just put it on a separate page. (It is not possible to upload files at the moment.)
