gcc 4.8.2 can't possibly come soon enough.
Even shoe horning 4.4 in for minimal auto vectorization and openMP support
still feels like swimming through molasses compared to 4.7 and 4.8.
So, no plan to move back to pyQt? Or is it being considered?

Re: PyQt or PySide

[Raffaele Fragapane]

The long story short remains that, sadly, pySide seems not to have made it
through its post-launch hype. It's a shame, given it's the truly free
alternative, and it was actually garnering support, but it's a risky bet
right now.

Autodesk is continuing on Qt 4.8 and Python 2.7 this year, we'll see
what happens when the next platform upgrade.

Re: PyQt or PySide

[Jens Lindgren]

PySide isn't completely dead. But it would really need a company that is
actively maintaining it, like it had before.
Luc-Eric, why don't AD get together with The Foundry and invest some time
and money into the UI framework we all use and rely on?

Re: PyQt or PySide

Hey Alok,
I'm curious about where you're getting information about development of
PySide. When I had to pick a horse I chose PyQt partly because the most
popular thread on PySide was about PySide being dead :-) Things may have of
course changed over the last few years.

Re: PyQt or PySide

Not a lot of development going on in Pyside -- it doesn't even have a
clear roadmap to support Qt 5.  It's very frustrating.

Re: PyQt or PySide

[Jon Swindells]

if your priority is to embed your standalone app then pyside is the api
i'd choose.



licensing issues aside, it's the supported platform for Maya and Nuke
but, having said that, if you are

using a qt4.8 based build then it's trivial to switch to either as long
as you stick to basic python data types.

PyQt or PySide

[Halim Negadi]

Hello All,

I need to write a standalone client to deal with a web database through a
rest API.
The python CLI is done and I just need to wrap this up in a nice GUI.
I will need the GUI to be working as a standalone application as well as
embedded in softwares like Soft, Nuke or Maya.
Both PySide and PyQt toolkits are actively maintained, I was wondering wich
one to use and would be intersted in your guys opinion on this.

Thank you in advance.

-H.
