Hello everyone! I'm posting here because I would like to add support for Python/PySide on Qt Creator, and hopefully, as a Google Summer of Code project.
I don't know if there are many people interested in this idea, but for those people who ever worked in both C++ and Python with Qt / PySide, an all-in-one IDE should be no harmful, at least. And if you find great fun in making GUIs using QtCreator's designer, as well as programming in Python/PySide, you know what I'm talking about:-) I realized that the PySide community once had made some effort to write a plugin to add Python support into Qt Creator (from what I found on the GitHub PySide/QtCreator <https://github.com/PySide/QtCreator> repository), however, for some reason it discontinued (that's as far as I know). From what I see in discussion forums, people keep wanting Python support in Qt Creator, and Tobias said though it is not a priority right now, he would like to see someone contributing in this area. I'm eager to see (and also eagerly need myself) an IDE with PySide support therefore I'm thinking of taking it as a GSoC project. Abstract ---------- The main goal of this project is to add fully functional Python/PySide support in a "feature branch" of Qt Creator, as well as some extra components such as optional Python/PySide-related plugins, PySide (and Shiboken) tutorials, demos and examples inside Qt Creator's helper system. Code contributes back to both Qt Creator and PySide repo via Gerrit. Blog post of my full proposal (with detailed schedule): http://www.soimort.org/gsoc/ Take a look if you'r interested in, and feel free to comment on, suggestions, criticisms, anything :) I will be updating that page. Planned working repo: https://gitorious.org/~mort/qt-creator/qt-creator-py Many thanks for reading this, and any feedback is needed please! p.s. one question: from what I read in http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2012 , prospective students are required to "contribute at least one patch to the project(s) they're applying to work with". Although the idea of PySide/Python support for QtCreator exists on the PySide idea page, there does not exist anything related in the official PySide repo (I believe I will be working on a QtCreator fork instead of a PySide repo). So how do I get started? Does a patch for QtCreator count? Best Regards, Mort Yao Email: [email protected] Address: Olastorpsvägen 23:119, 29139 Kristianstad, Sweden
