I recently tried to make creating QDeclarativeItem types with properties and
such easier to write by using a metaclass. However, even though my metaclass
inherited from Shiboken.ObjectType and called Shiboken.ObjectType.__new__ to do
the real work registering the type with QtDeclarative.qmlRegisterType failed
with 'A shiboken-based python type expected, got Meta' where Meta is the name
of my metaclass.
I can see why you would do this, but metaclasses allow for the nicest syntax
for autogenerating properties and the restriction seems a little, well,
restrictive. Would it be possible to relax this slightly and allow classes
whose metaclasses inherit from Shiboken.ObjectType to be registered? This would
greatly improve the metaprogramming possiblities for PySide.
Here's what my end goal was:
class MyType(AutoQItem):
property1 = AutoProp(str)
property2 = AutoProp(int, default=10)
etc...
The resulting class would have fully function properties similar to those in
the AutoQObject example in the wiki, but with a much nicer syntax for declaring
them.
