My company encourages us to produce modular, robust solutions, which is
epitomized by developers contributing to something like PySide. So, I and at
least another developer + an intern could contribute some solid effort to this.
We have a ton of deployed stuff using PySide + QT 4.8.x so something has
to be done. The main choices are: fix pyside/shiboken, switch to PyQT, **write
our own boost-python wrappers for parts of QT that we need**, switch to
js/webgl.
(** denotes the current most likely route)
Can the whole shiboken-instead-of-boost-python thing be revisited? It is a
huge PITA to interface through shiboken when you have a C++ application using
QT and you provide some boost-python wrappers or have legacy C-python wrappers
for domain-specific code. The way shiboken+pyside are structured now, you are
in for a world of pain when embedding python in a native QT application as
opposed to driving the app from python scripts.
If PySide could just use boost more intelligently to keep builds manageable in
size/time, it would:
(a) alleviate the issues with native app using embedded python
with pyside plus some other wrapper for non-qt code,
(b) allow more people to contribute since boost has a pretty large
developer base.
(c) make it easier to generate wrappers for custom classes that inherit
from QT classes.

In https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pyside-dev top-right area,
there is a "My Settings" button which has "Membership and Email
settings". Not sure if it needs a google login.
