Hi Marko,
This is very interesting, thank you for sharing. I'm trying to get kubos
work on my Windows machine (PyQt was dropped from my Mac when I upgraded to
OSX Maverick), but it fails with the following trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "__main__.pyw", line 34, in <module>
from app import app
File "Z:\kubos\kubos\app.py", line 20, in <module>
app = _KubosApp(appdir=_file)
File "Z:\kubos\kubos\appclass.py", line 44, in __init__
from doc import doc_ctrl
File "Z:\kubos\kubos\doc.py", line 9, in <module>
import active_tool
File "Z:\kubos\kubos\active_tool.py", line 48, in <module>
activate_select_tool()
File "Z:\kubos\kubos\active_tool.py", line 19, in activate_select_tool
select.action.trigger()
File "Z:\kubos\kubos\tools\tool.py", line 47, in _get_action
checkable=True, parent=None)
File "Z:\kubos\kubos\lib\action.py", line 27, in __init__
self.setToolTip(tooltip)
TypeError: QAction.setToolTip(QString): argument 1 has unexpected type
'NoneType
SimpleGUI has the advantage to be, as its name suggests, 'simple'. There
are of course pros and cons regarding the opportunity to merge your work
into pythonocc, I don't have a clear idea yet. I first focus on testing
kubos.
Regards,
Thomas
