I would be happy to do the switch, though I will be on holiday for the next 10 days. I can have a look at it when I come back. But if there is anyone willing to give it a try in meanwhile, feel free to do it :-) I am attaching a diff with preliminary changes to switch to spi api 2 - if anyone would like to play with it. IIRC there are few things that need to be sorted out: - dealing with QVariant::Type which is used e.g. in QgsField. Most likely we can safely switch to using QMetaType::Type (QVariant is not directly available anymore) - take care with transition of QSettings [1] - provide a shortcut that python tests and third-party scripts could use for setting sip api 2 (has to be set explicitly if not running within QGIS) - migrate any plugin code within QGIS source tree [1] http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt_qsettings.html Regards Martin
