Since now I'm supporting 3 PiClocks (Mine, a Friend's, and My Daughter-in-law's)... I've had some feature requests...
A remote control to flip pages instead of the button.
And I wanted to add the NOAA broadcast for the area to be played when you use a certain button on the remote.

Added a button and a page flip, for a second page to the #PiClock #PyQtPiClock running Python #PyQt on the #RaspberryPi.

So I decided I needed to learn #python to where I can write, not just hack it. So I needed a project, and decided to rewrite the #PiClock on the #RaspberryPi. I used PyQt as the gui.
The previous version was built using a static web page, stored on the file system. It made extensive use of JQuery, and Ajax. It took me a while to decide on the gui. I had to do several proof of concepts trying Tk, Gtk, wx and finally Qt. I settled on Qt because it was the only one that supported transparent backgrounds, and was supported on the #RaspberryPi, but let me develop it on my Windows PC.

So she says, pointing to my #PiClock hanging on the wall, "I need one of those, so I can see the snow and rain approaching." Ok sure I thought, but I had no spare monitors to throw at it. A few days later, my buddy Chris said, "I have 2 27" monitors, if you make me a PiClock for one, I'll give you a montior." "Deal!", was my reply.
