Hi,
Here's my story. I am a python programmer and I'm trying to leverage my
experience with python. All of my GUI experience has been with wxPython.
Therefore, I know little to nothing about QT. And not a lot about C++.
I want to be able to create my forms/dialogs/frames (or whatever you folks
call them) using PySide and somehow integrate into an existing program written
in C++ QT (the program in question is a xTuple and source is available).
It's my understanding that it is possible. So my questions are:
1. Is it a good idea?
Why not. We have demonstrated how our users can do that (through a
plugin) in our product (written in C/C++):

2. What should I be learning?
PySide and the Python C API.
3. What are the steps to integration (in general terms).
- Your C++ should host Python. That is very simple.
- You should use the Python C api to export some functions from your
C/C++ program to Python. This will allow Python to call C/C++
- Using The Python C API you can already call Python
4. Will the performance match the C++ (talking GUI here not just math
problems).
To be precise, I have not timed this, but the performance was more than
fine.
Hope that helps.
