Question

i am looking for something similar to
Organizing GUI code, but for Python and PyQt4. Especially, I am looking at tips and examples of how to handle and store the configuration data, general state etc.

EDIT:
I have found some hints regarding older versions under: http://www.commandprompt.com/community/pyqt/

Here’s an overview of what we did w/some example names and their functions (we have a lot more in the actual app.)

  - src/
     - my_project/
        - model/
           - preference.py # Interact with config params
           - api.py # Interact with our REST api

        - controller/
           - startup.py # Initialization code
           - login.py # Login a user

        - view/
           - main_window.py # Application container
           - login_widget.py # Login form

        - main.py # Application entry point.

          - model/ 
          - view/
          - controller/

      - ui/ # The files match basically one to one with the modules in the view directory.
        - main_window.ui
        - login_widget.ui
      - images/
        - logo.png

  - setup.py # Script to build the application (calling into the build_py2exe, etc. files below)
  - build_py2exe.py # Build the py2exe exe
