PyQLogger On Windows
Today i tried to run PyQLogger from windows.
If you don't know what PyQLogger is - PyQLogger is AtomAPI based Blogger client written by Reflog in Python using PyQT.
If you want to learn more :) go to PyQLogger WIKI page

Anyway, i wanted to run it from Windows.
And it was quite an easy task. Even too easy :)
Here is a very simple STEP-BY-STEP guide:
1. Go to TrollTech (qt) site
and apply for evalutional qt for windows. Choose Unsupported version.
Download and install qt. Make sure you uncheck "Compile Example" and "Compile Tutorials"
cos they got a lot of examples. and it will take time to compile :)
2. Go to Python site and download Python version 2.3.3
That's right 2.3.3. Not the newest one, cos your also need PyQT and for windows it's linked to Python 2.3.3
Install it.
3. Go to Get PyQT. Install it. You almost there.
4. Get PyQLogger itself
5. Unpack it somewhere.
Now before you run it. you'll need to reboot you computer, in order to reset all the environment variables.
Or you can simply logoff and login again.
Now you can go to the PyQLogger dir and double click the PyQLogger.Py file.

Few sad notes:
QT for some reasons doesn't available for free on windows platform.
Only evalution and comercial versions available. The evalution version of QT is for 31 days.
After that the PyQLogger will stop working... :(
Spell plugin wont work. Since it is using ASpell. And i beleive it's not available on windows.
Maybe there is a way to use ASpell with Cygwin?
I'll try that tomorow.

Or maybe i do not understand something... cos it's kinda not logically for me.
Cos i do not want to develop software with QT. I Want to USE software that was writen in QT.
Maybe there is a way to run such software as PyQLogger for free on windows.

Now, the final experiment. Trying to post it to blogger...
1,2,3... Is it working? Hello? :)
