I'm looking to make a cross platform application, and I'm looking into different languages and options to get an understanding of the strengths and limitations before I put significant effort in a particular direction.
One option I'm considering is using python with QT and PySide. Maybe this isn't the best place the ask, but maybe some people will know. Qt looks great from my first impressions but one thing I'm not too sure about is how native it can go, I know the controls are native and will use carbon/cocoa underneath on mac for example. But one thing I'm trying to find out, is if it's possible to add fully native bits to it using cocoa api. For example would it be possible to transition two windows with a flip animation like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY_Y6rpSgsU. Maybe using ctypes and loading a .so file, or using PyObjC or access the api? A lot of the cross platform gui frameworks I've used before just seemed to support the common denominator of features across windows, mac and gtk and often features or concepts just specific to one or two platforms aren't supported - which is understandable. But would anyone know if it would be possible to implement these platform specific bits whilst using PySide, using ctypes / pyobjc etc? (window animations, mac sheets etc.) Thanks! Paul
