Hi Steven,
I tried to use PySide together with your PyQt4XSI plugin last year and
managed to get your basic demos running after replacing some lines
of code
(I think it was mostly the import statements changed to point at
PySide.blah instead of the PyQt ones). No real problems I can
remember, but
projects caught up with me and I couldn't try harder to find any.
What proofed to be a major pita was (and still is) that I could not
find
any x64 version of PySide that includes the Shiboken Python module
out of
the box and is compatible with Python 2.6.x. There are a couple of
pre-built packages for download both from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~**
gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyside<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyside>and
http://qt-project.org/wiki/**PySide_Binaries_Windows<http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_Binaries_Windows>,
but none of them includes shiboken.pyd as far as I could see. Back
then I
was lucky and some kind sould sent me a compatible version of the
module
(maybe that was even you? Sorry, I really can't recall)
Meanwhile, from what I could learn from the net, the missing module
seems
to be due to a bug in one of the PySide build scripts and allegedly has
been fixed months ago, it's just that nobody has made a new build
with it
and made it publicly available yet (neither Gohlke nor the
maintainers of
the PySide project and it's associated web pages), which is also
where even
I feel that PySide is less well maintained compared to PyQt,
admittedly.
Did you compile Qt and PySide yourself or did you find an alternate
source
with precompiled binaries?
Ultimately, I think what's needed to get that missing module is a
custom
PySide build compiled against Python 2.7.x and VS2010 (for SI2014) or
Python 2.6.x and VS2008 (for anything older than SI2014) and an as
up to
date Qt version as possible (don't know if 5.x would be a good idea,
4.8.4
seems to be the latest of the 4.x line).
Early last week I finally had time to make another attempt and finally
managed to compile Qt 4.8.4 for x64 against Python 2.7.4 and VS2010
(without Phonon, I skipped installing DX for now). Next on my list
was to
compile PySide against that build to hopefully and finally get a
compatible
version of this dreaded Shiboken module. But I'd rather skip all
that and
just use yours, though I'm still really curious as to where you got it
from, in case you didn't compile yourself :-)
In any way, if you still need or want more testers I'd love to give
it a
shot.
And as always, thanks for investing so much of your time into it.
Stefan
Hey Gang
Tony Barbieri and I have been working on official support for
PySide with
the PyQtForSoftimage plugin and I need some testers...
Who here wants to use PySide instead of PyQt4? It is a little rough
right
now so, only people that really want to use PySide should contact me.
Thanks
Steven
