Hey there,
I would like to request a new repository on codereview.qt-project.org
Name and description: qtscrypt - Script C++ with Python
Responsible person: Cristián Maureira-Fredes
(cristian.maureira-fre...@qt.io)
Desired repository name: playground/qtscrypt
URL of existing code: https://git.qt.io/crmaurei/qtscrypt
Thanks
Won't this be confusing? We have had QtScript for the longest time and
it looks like a typo.
thanks for the comments.
I was under the impression that changing the 'i' for a 'y'
from P'y'thon was not confusing, because it was already
mentioned in a couple of talks and nobody mentioned
anything against it.
Even more fun: scrypt is the name of a password encryption algorithm and
the corresponding library.
I wanted to avoid qtscript-python because it's not really qtscript,
it's just the main idea from it.
Do you have any other name suggestion?
(I really struggled with finding a name)
QtPython
Hey Konrad,
too close to 'Qt for Python' IMHO
QtPythonScripting
Could be! even if it's a longer name, it's more descriptive.
QtPythonAPI
Not really a Python API,
> QtYetAnotherPythonBinding
Jokes aside, I think there is a project
called "PyAnotherSide" :)
QtNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent
QtBrightSide
Probable copyright issues with the band "The Killers"
QtHesTheMessiah
(SCNR)
Sorry for having completely missed the ball here, but what makes this
new Python binding worthwhile when there's already PyQt, Qt-for-Python
and PySide?
This idea, as you can see in the code
is to run Python code within C++ code,
quite different from the bindings, but hey,
maybe an example is more clear.
With QtScrypt (Following the idea of the old QtScript module)
You can have C++ code, and at some point that evaluates Python
code and get some result back, say:
QScryptEngine e;
qDebug() << "something, something" << e.evaluate("[i for i in range(10)]");
and you can get a QVariantList with the numerical values,
same idea with a Python function, like:
# your_file.py
def power_of_two(x):
return x**2
you can call it from C++ like
QScryptModule mod("your_file.py")
QScryptFunction f("power_of_two", &mod);
qDebug() << "power_of_two(4): " << f.call(4);
// you get 16 as a QVariant
So now,
PyQt and PySide
provide bindings Python for the Qt API,
like having:
button = QPushButton("press me!")
button.clicked.connect(some_slot)
on Python files.
Hopefully it's not a QtDeadParrot, I'd prefer a QtHolyGrail... :-P
[I'll see myself out now and do something useful instead, sorry.]
No worries, it's useful to ask things are are unknown to ourselves :)
So, as the original email states, this is for a 'playground' repository,
because I was literally playing with this idea on a Hackathon,
and after presenting it in some talks in Qt conferences/workshops,
some folks thought it was something interesting to play with.
Konrad
Cheers
