Making a calculator in Python using pyface and raw Qt.

I wrote yesterday about making a calculator GUI using enthought's traitsUI package. Well, for fun, I rewrote the whole damn thing using Enthought's pyface package in raw Qt. The main difference is that we have lost the ability to automatically monitor the changes in the attributes i.e monitor when the buttons are being pressed. So, we have to now manually connect the QPushButton objects to functions that handle what to do when one of the buttons is pressed. And the layout of the buttons is a little harder to define as well. Well, harder for me because I still haven't been able to wrap my head around Qt.

Anyway, that's all for today I guess. Ohh, also, the 0 button isn't behaving well and I don't think the . button is either! I wanted to write unittests to automate checking whether or not the app/program is working as its supposed to. I'm still trying to learn how to write unittests, for GUI elements, after a failed attempt a couple of days back.

Again, the code was highlighted using this awesome website! And any comments/suggestions are welcome and highly appreciated! :)
