Re: [MeeGo-dev] PyQt
I am looking at developing for MeeGo and I know C/C++ is one choice. Is it possible to develop MeeGo application using Python/PyQt? There's 2 Python binding for Qt implementation: - PyQt (RiverBank) - PySide At the moment, MeeGo doesn't have Python binding for Qt packages. I expect we'll have them at some point.

Re: [MeeGo-dev] PyQt
Hi, If you want the PySide bindings which are supposed to be a better, more complete version of the original Qt bindings, Please, don't spread FUD but give facts. We have 2 competitors for the Python bindings. Both have pros/cons and both try to push their implementation. I let the reader to search the relevant information to make his own choice.

Re: [MeeGo-dev] PyQt
Dear Fathi, That was not my intention, well, in better- I meant heading to bind some new libs that did not exist when PyQt was created and thought of a couple of features that I will *personally* very much like in PySide once their finished, like this[0] one for example. Sorry for mis-phrasing! Indeed, there are pros/cons to each and one should use the best tool for the job (tm) :-) Not to mention that PyQt is probably more spread and is heavily used all over since it has been around for longer. Thus could be easier to get going with since there are repository packages and tons of material to get started with both online and printed. This also shows promise to enable to port back and forth at relative ease[1].

My OBS-foo is not yet strong enough to allow me to tinker with bindings under MeeGo, but it is on my (rather longish) to-do list, as, though some might disagree, I still feel there is some advantage of having two bindings. OTOH I do think MeeGo should (have) push(ed) for full platform level python availability from day 1, picking a preferred/official binding if necessary.

Just to second that- and I know we've already discussed this on IRC, but I strongly support the idea to have full platform support for Python, to the extend of reaching the OVI store and more monetary (but not necessary paid) style distribution channels. I actually agree with every word , and couldn't say this better. The issue is I guess with maintainer ship, who when and how? (having two frameworks strictly speaking suggests 2 maintainership efforts?) Sivan ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev

Re: [MeeGo-dev] PyQt
Yes I would expect it'd be much the same way it is down for Maemo, note that you might need to download and install source versions of the tools since there might not be RPMs for that at this time. [1] http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/installation.html [2] http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/c05693a1-265c-4c7f-a389-fc227db4c465/Maemo_5_SDK.html [3] http://www.pyside.org/downloads/ If you want the PySide bindings which are supposed to be a better, more complete version of the original Qt bindings, you need to consult the download page[3] for the PySide project. You can also attempt development inside the MeeGo SDK given you build the required dependencies there, in Maemo the packages are available from extra-devel. I hope this helps (thanks to Renato and Luca for originally posting this). Sivan On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 6:15 AM, Mark S.
