Here is the code i have at the moment

toolbar = self.addToolBar('toolbar')

toolbar.addAction(exit)

Here things i tried without luck.



toolbar = self.addToolBar(Qt.LeftToolBarArea)
toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
toolbar.addAction(Map)
toolbar.addAction(Change)
toolbar.addAction(exit)



toolbar = self.addToolBar('toolabr')
toolbar.LeftToolbarArea()
toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
toolbar.addAction(Map)
toolbar.addAction(Change)
toolbar.addAction(exit)




toolbar = self.addToolBar(Qt.BottomToolBarArea,'Toolbar')
toolbar.LeftToolbarArea()
toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
toolbar.addAction(Map)

check http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qmainwindow.html

you are looking for:
addToolBar (self, Qt.ToolBarArea area, QToolBar toolbar)

What you are doing is storing the result of adding a toolbar to your MainWindow as a variable named toolbar.
You need to first create the toolbar and only then add it to the main window with a position.

example:


from PyQt4.QtGui import *

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)

myToolbar = QToolBar()
self.addToolBar( Qt.LeftToolBarArea , myToolbar )
