Hello, I know this discussion is about C++, but I just wanted to mention that Signals in Python are objects, and we rely on the emit method to emit signals (duh!). As a C++ programmer, renaming the emit macro for something else doesn't affect me, even if we decide to remove it, because I think we can do fine, so I have no strong feelings. As a Python programmer, removing the macro will cause headaches when trying to figure out how to make Signals work, since looking at some random Qt/C++ code I will not know what's the proper way of emitting one. (In case I'm not aware of these conventions) As a PySide developer, if we agree to change the name, we can just rename the function we expose, to qEmit or whatever, but in case the macro gets removed, we will need to keep the emit() method, and explain to users that in C++ land this doesn't exists, which will maybe cause some headaches. My 3 cents, Cheers PS: More info about signals and slots in PySide: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python_Signals_and_Slots -- Dr. Cristian Maureira-Fredes R&D Manager The Qt Company GmbH Erich-Thilo-Str. 10 D-12489 Berlin Geschäftsführer: Mika Pälsi, Juha Varelius, Mika Harjuaho Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin, Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 144331 B _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
