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++):

Elias, this is really cool! I wasn't aware of this.
I added a link to the blog post to the PySide wiki at Qt Developer Network.
Cheers,
ma.
Hello Matti,
Indeed it is cool, thanks for linking the blog entry.
We had to compile PySide a bit differently though (The thread "Compiling
PySide with a custom namespace" in here shows the patch).
Given:
- A C++ program hosting both Python and Qt
- The C++ host (IDA) uses Qt compiled with VS and QT_NAMESPACE=QT
- IDA alos hosts Python through the C++ plugin called IDAPython
To get PySide to work:
- Compile it with QT_NAMESPACE=QT and VS (requires the aforementioned
patch in order to change QT_NAMESPACE, unless you integrated it already)
- I had to add a method to pass widgets from C++ to PySide (also in the
patch)
Since the C++ host already has the QApplication and the message loop,
PySide should work nicely. Just have the host execute a Python script
that works with PySide.
Hope that is of help,
Elias
