Hello, Today, Maya 2017 was released. It comes with a bunch of changes, where one change is of particular interest to me as a Python developer; PySide has been replaced with PySide2 (as a result of Autodesk replacing Qt4 with Qt5).
This essentially makes all PySide/PyQt scripts written for Maya version <= 2016 unusable in Maya 2017. To help fix this, and maintain backwards compatibility to previous versions of Maya, Marcus Ottosson and I created an open source project called Qt.py: https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py By writing as if you were writing for PySide2, and using our shim instead of a specific Python binding, this simple example code works in Python 2 & 3 with either PySide, PyQt4, PySide2 or PyQt5: import sysfrom Qt import QtWidgets app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv) button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Hello World") button.show() app.exec_() If you’re in the same boat as us, we’d love to hear what you think about this. To help get you started, here are two blog posts which outline how to use Qt.py: - Dealing with Maya 2017 and PySide2 <https://fredrikaverpil.github.io/2016/07/25/dealing-with-maya-2017-and-pyside2/> - Developing with Qt.py <https://fredrikaverpil.github.io/2016/07/25/developing-with-qt-py/> Regards, Fredrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
