QScintilla2 and PyQT4

Check out the new site at https://rkblog.dev.

QScintilla is a QT library that adds few widgets - text editor widgets with code highlighting, code autocompletion etc. For PyQT4 we can use a Qscintilla2 snapshot. Download and untar the sources, then go to Qt4 folder in a terminal en execute (linux/unix, as root or sudo):
qmake qscintilla.pro
make
make install
Then go to Python folder and execute:
python configure.py
make
make install
Then go to designer-Qt4 and execute:
qmake designer.pro
make
make install
And we are done. Qscintilla2 should now be available, use this code to test:
import PyQt4.Qsci
langs = [i for i in dir(PyQt4.Qsci) if i.startswith('QsciLexer')]

for i,l in enumerate(langs):
    print i,l[9:]
The result should be like this:
0
1 Bash
2 Batch
3 CMake
4 CPP
5 CSS
6 CSharp
7 D
8 Diff
9 HTML
10 IDL
11 Java

15 POV
