1.1.0
Improved detection of common members
The ability to automatically generate the common members, used by Qt.py, makes it much easier to spot new additions to e.g. PySide2. Run build_membership.sh
to generate a JSON file per binding, which are then compared. The result is written to a common_members.json
and can be copy-pasted into Qt.py. This comparison leverages the tests suite and uses the binding versions used in the latest test suite.
Once the binding versions used by the tests suite gets updated (usually annually during a VFX Platform update), we will check for new members, using this new approach.
See DOCKER.md for more info.

Removed QtCore.QMetaType member
The QtCore.QMetaType
member was removed as it was wrongly added to Qt.py.
New tests suite
A new tests suite was added. Qt and its bindings are compiled from source using the CY2018 VFX Platform standards. This adds better support for testing with Python 3.x and removes the dependency of the Ubuntu PPAs previously used to install the Qt bindings.
cd Qt.py
# Run nosetests (Linux/OSX)
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/Qt.py -e PYTHON=2.7 fredrikaverpil/qt.py:2018
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/Qt.py -e PYTHON=3.4 fredrikaverpil/qt.py:2018
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/Qt.py -e PYTHON=3.5 fredrikaverpil/qt.py:2018
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/Qt.py -e PYTHON=3.6 fredrikaverpil/qt.py:2018
# Run nosetests (Windows)
docker run --rm -v %CD%:/Qt.py -e PYTHON=2.7 fredrikaverpil/qt.py:2018
docker run --rm -v %CD%:/Qt.py -e PYTHON=3.4 fredrikaverpil/qt.py:2018
docker run --rm -v %CD%:/Qt.py -e PYTHON=3.5 fredrikaverpil/qt.py:2018
docker run --rm -v %CD%:/Qt.py -e PYTHON=3.6 fredrikaverpil/qt.py:2018
The test suite will be updated anually, around the time of SIGGRAPH and when the VFX Platform usually gets updated.
For more information on running the tests, see README.md and DOCKER.md.
Support for Python 2.6
Qt.py now works with Python 2.6, thanks to contributions made by @Ahuge (see #245). However, keep in mind that the automatic tests don't apply to Python 2.6.
Upgraded QtCompat
An additional layer was added to QtCompat
to facilitate more members.
Before
from Qt import QtCompat
QtCompat.setSectionResizeMode
After
from Qt import QtCompat
QtCompat.QHeaderView.setSectionResizeMode
Backwards compatibility is maintained, at least till the next major version release.
Pre-release installation
Install
To install a pre-release, prepend --pre
to your pip install
.
$ pip install --pre -U Qt.py
To upgrade an existing install, prepend -U
as well.
$ pip install --pre Qt.py
QtSiteConfig
Version 1.1.0.b3 added support for overriding available members of Qt.py on import, to either add custom members and modules, or remove them.
Added wrapInstance
and getCppPointer
The shiboken
of PySide and sip
of PyQt have found a home in QtCompat
.
from Qt import QtCompat
QtCompat.wrapInstance(...)
They work similar as you would expect. See the release notes for 1.1.0.b1 for details and examples.
