Re: PyQtForSoftimage with PySide support

[Stefan Kubicek]

Hi all,

for the time being I have put together the PySide & Qt build instructions  for whoever is interested:

http://plutometro.blogspot.co.at/2013/06/compiling-x64-pyside-using-vs2010.html

I can put that PySide installer up for download too in case ne1 want's to try it out, just let me know.

@Steven: your abstraction module sounds like a really nice idea, I hope you get it all sorted without too much a hassle and future maintenance requirements (more differences between PySide and PyQt might be introduced with a later version of PySide, which in turn requires an update of that module?)

@everybody: What's the general consensus of mixing compiler versions in a project? E.g. is it legal/safe to compile PySide with VS2010 using Qt libs that were built with VS2008? This is what's really irritating me atm: The absence of any publicly available x64 Qt installer compiled with VS2010, hence I'm building it myself. There really seems to be no such thing anywhere, and it's not like VS2010 can be considered exotic, can it?

Stefan

thanks for the offer stefan, but i have an installer already and i plan on making it available once it gets some testing.

a made a module to abstract the python qt bindings (combined a few that i found online), this module attempts to remove any need for different syntax. that code is available now on the github page. also you might have an old copy of my plugin because there is a fourth example. its called ExampleUIFile and this is where i am still having toruble. i am trying to make it work properly with the abstraction module but with some issues.

as far as the QMenu is concerned that looks like you used the wrong arguments. my code works without modification... menu.exec_(QCursor.pos())

from what i know, it is legal to provide a link to the precompiled installer.

i think improved documentation is in order, feel free to fork the repro and make changes to the readme.creole then send me a pull request.

Hi Steven,

I managed to compile and create a Windows installer for PySide 1.1.3 using Qt 4.8.4, VS2010 and Python 2.7.4, all x64. For a quick test I also modified the PyQtForSoftimage Python scripts to use the PySide libs instead of PyQt and I was able to run the ExampleDialog and ExampleSignalSlot Examples that come with your addon.
The ExampleMenu example throws an error when clicking on one of the menu items from the popup, it looks like PySide expects a slightly different syntax, which should be fixable:

TypeError: 'PySide.QtGui.QMenu.exec_' called with wrong argument types:
#   PySide.QtGui.QMenu.exec_(int, int)
# Supported signatures:
#   PySide.QtGui.QMenu.exec_()
#   PySide.QtGui.QMenu.exec_(list, PySide.QtCore.QPoint, PySide.QtGui.QAction = None)
#   PySide.QtGui.QMenu.exec_(list, PySide.QtCore.QPoint, PySide.QtGui.QAction, PySide.QtGui.QWidget)
#   PySide.QtGui.QMenu.exec_(PySide.QtCore.QPoint, PySide.QtGui.QAction = None)

Besides that it's looking good.

How far did you get, and is there anything else to consider?

Also, I don't want to rush ahead, but if it's of any use to you or any one else (and legal, I suppose?) I can put that installer (or just shiboken.pyd) and maybe even the modified Plugin scripts up for download for people to experiment with in the mean time.
I also thought of documenting the build process (also as a reminder for me should I ever have to do this again), since most of the info is scattered all over the net and there are likely others who need to compile themselves too at some point and could save a lot of time with all info in one place. Let me know what you think.from
