Hi, Here comes the promised status update again. :-)
There's been a lot of progress on Shiboken in the last sprint. All unit tests on QtCore were made to pass and there's very little to do to have it finished, just porting of the Qt 4.6 features (Shiboken was forked during 4.5 era) and fixing a few bugs. Work on the remaining issues is already well under way. In addition to that, Hugo heroically already managed to get QtGui compiled (without the code injections required for a fully functional binding, though), and the results are extremely promising. Getting QtGui properly done is the main goal of the sprint. Also, it has been reported that the code won't compile against Python 2.5; this will be fixed.
We've been gaining a bit of backlog on unfixed bugs lately. This has been a bit of a pain point since the reported bugs are mostly related to the Boost.Python specific implementation. Since the fixes would only have a very limited lifespan, we have opted to just create unit tests for the bugs to have them dealt with in the Shiboken implementation. This is of course a pain for developers working with PySide as the bugs won't be fixed soon; maybe it would help if we early next sprint made Ubuntu debs for the then-available Shiboken-made modules (just QtCore and QtGui) to give developers access to the new stuff as soon as possible?
Cheers, ma. _______________________________________________ PySide mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openbossa.org/listinfo/pyside
