Hi Nabil, I've just read your e-mail and a little of the docs and they sound great! I mean, it looks extremely flexible. As I didn't have time enough to read through the docs, I'm gonna ask you, does PyDADL support Qt4 Designer XML (.ui file) to describe the client's UI ? It would be really nice :D
Cheers and congrats!
