Ok thanks!

If you want to have buttons at the top of the window you could use icons. That's a fairly common practice, but I think it's important to have the standard File/Edit menus anyway. Something to consider for your next app at least.

Yes I can. However I myself find that if it only has two buttons it would look kind of weird :/. However if you want I can make a "sub-version" of p-Edit?

No problem, I appreciate the Python snippets. It's great to see people posting in other languages on the site, they inspire me to learn new languages and platforms. The new button location is an improvement, but I think what would be ideal are application menus like File, Edit, etc. I don't know if you can do this with PyQt, but it would be nice.

@Hawkee I have changed it so there Open and Save buttons (the only buttons) are on the top. Once again thanks for your feedback on these GUIs I have made most of them (this and the twitter client) when I was bored... It really helps having a person comment on these that way they can improve and more importantly i can improve. Thanks again -- PATX

Very basic, but it gets the job done. I think it would feel more consistent to have the buttons on top like most apps though.

there a no know bugs atm :)

ok, basicly this is just a simple text editor, to open edit and save files. i have added python syntax highlighting.
