Hi
I also think that it is not necessary to port the atlas plugin to C++.
It would be interesting to see what other devs think about opening
qgis to python code.

I like the clear distinction between C++ and Python parts as it is now. For me,
it is still very important to have the possibility to build QGIS without Python
if necessary (e.g. doing a quick test with a Windows or Mac build of a branch).

Hi,
As for having Atlas a QGis core part, I could do the C++ port, but this
project would need funding. If anyone interested, get in touch.
Do you think a porting to C++ is really necessary? Wouldn't it be
sufficient to move the py code to master once ready for production and
well tested?
That's something to ask to qgis devs at large :)
If we keep it in Python, I'd be glad to move it to qgis master.
We'd want to wait for test and consolidation before that.
What do other think ?
It is really tempting to move forward from being pure c++ application
to a hybrid of c++ and python code - and I am not talking about python
plugins shipped by default with qgis - I mean that python would be a
required dependency since some parts of the GUI would be in python. I
tend to be in favor of that (to some degree).
There are some advantages (many python developers, lots of working
python code in plugins) and some disadvantages (code maintenance). At
the same time we should have a vision what should and what should not
go into qgis app - not many plugins are really for general purpose,
with good gui+code quality and without further dependencies.
It would be interesting to see what other devs think about opening
qgis to python code.
