PyQt4 is the wrapper for Trolltech’s Qt4 libraries. On the riverbank site you can find the sources and the windows binary; ubuntu seems to ship the binary on the official release, simply look for pyqt in synaptic.

Here is a good PyQt4 tutorial: zetcode

And here another good in Italian: un tutorial facile facile

The next step could be to monitor group messages and automatically ban spamming people from your group.

Nice, huh?

The solution
So that i dediced to write a transport object that keeps track of the session id cookies sent by the server.

Here’s the code:
