I’m not really referring to it being in Maya or not, but to it becoming the standard.
As the question in this thread was about compiling it for Maya, to which you suggested PySide instead, I felt it necessary to point out that PyQt is an equally valid option and not something to dismiss simply because Autodesk has chosen to bundle PySide with Maya. At the end of the day, we’re talking about basing our development on something that has a clear future versus something that may splutter and die any second. I can’t see that being the gist of how it went down in the Autodesk conference room when that decision was made. I actually can. :) Also, it wasn’t off topic to reply to my comment This whole discussion is off-topic no? This thread is about getting PyQt to work with Maya, PySide isn’t even relevant here.
