I was intrigued to hear about pyside having a more liberal license (i.e.

However, the Shiboken seems to be a move away from boost.
Will boost.python still be supported or will you be moving to the
shiboken (custom wrapping lib) entirely for the future?
Hi Marcus,
Although Shiboken is "something else again", unfortunately we found
Boost.Python to be far too heavy and difficult to maintain for our
purposes: we got initial results quickly but the results proved memory
and disk-space hungry and bug-fixing was a pain. Hence, we made the
decision to go with Shiboken and we're not looking back. So no, the
Boost.Python version won't be supported any longer. Bug reports against
it are still useful, but only to ensure that the Shiboken version won't
have the same issues.
So, in your case I'm sorry to say we won't be using Boost.Python,
although this is the first and probably the only time I'm going to say
that. :-)
Ok. It seems as the flora of python wrappers is continuing to expand, so
I'll have to tackle that problem anyway.
Thanks for the reply!
Cheers,
/Marcus
