I've been working on a branch that would supply linuxcnc with a python QT based vcp program.
This is capable of GLADEvcp type panels and operator screens including python handler files. Qt seems to be the future of GUIs The questions I am wonder on are: python 2 or 3 ? PYQT4 or 5 ? Currently it's built with python 2 and PYQT4. My personal opinion is that I see little reason to use python 3 yet - it seems many libraries are slow to switch. QT5 is not available in wheezy but is available in Mint (a fairly common used distribution) Looks like debian Jessie has PYQT5 in both styles of python. So to use QT5 we would not be able to use QTvcp in wheezy and i would need some make file help to juggle when to build and not. I haven't read any significant differences between qt4/5 I just would like to future proof the work. it's really disappointing the debacle of GTK2 and 3. Opinions other comments?
