Hello, After the general discussion of the vision for Qt6, we wanted to say a few things regarding Qt for Python.
Even though we are talking about a Python module, the whole development is C and C++ related, and due to Python's popularity, we have been getting a lot of attention on Shiboken, the binding generator that we use to expose our beloved C++ framework to Python. That's why I felt motivated to write to the main qt mailing list. A couple of people here has provided us with really nice feedback regarding the module, and even related to the integration with QtCreator. We are really thankful for that. Since the beginning of the project we have seen it as a complementary project, and never as a competition to the long-standing performant C++ counterpart, but most importantly as a really nice way to extend the Qt project community with a whole new set of users. As you will read on the blog post, there are a couple of aspects from the C++ point of view that are really useful, like fast prototyping, exposing existing C++ projects to Python, or even extend Qt/C++ application with Python. It will be really nice to know what do you think, because at the moment we have been mostly community driven, and many aspects from the C++ expertise on this mailing list will help us improving Qt for Python. https://blog.qt.io/blog/2019/08/19/technical-vision-qt-python/ Cheers -- Dr. Cristian Maureira-Fredes Software Engineer The Qt Company GmbH Erich-Thilo-Str. 10 D-12489 Berlin Geschäftsführer: Mika Pälsi, Juha Varelius, Mika Harjuaho Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin, Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 144331 B -- _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
