PythonQt 3.2 released!

2017-06-06T13:00:50.349000Z

Today we released PythonQt 3.2. It provides several bug fixes and improvements.

The main changes are:
improvements and fixes to QMetaObject creation on Python classes derived from QObject
wrapper generator now works with Qt 5.7 and Qt 5.8
various fixes in the type system
new naming convention for the generated shared libraries to allow side-by-side PythonQt libraries for Qt4/Qt5 and Python 2 / Python 3

PythonQt 3.1 update

2016-06-13T10:54:41.547000Z

The PythonQt 3.1 zip file contained wrappers for two methods which are not part of Qt 5.6, so compilation failed on all platforms. I updated the svn and the PythonQt 3.1 release zip file. Sorry for the inconvenience!

PythonQt 3.1 released

2016-06-09T12:30:35.865000Z

PythonQt 3.1 has just been released and contains fresh wrappers for Qt 5.6.
It adds support for QtCore.Slot, QtCore.Signal and QtCore.Property and creates dynamic meta objects
when slots, signals or properties are added. PythonQt now contains wrappers for QtQml and QtQuick.
It does not yet support extending Qml with Python classes. The QtWebKit support is now made optional,
since Qt 5.6 does not come with QtWebKit anymore.

If you need PythonQt for Qt4, please use the svn branches/Qt4LastWorkingVersion instead of the PythonQt 3.1 release.

PythonQt svn trunk is now Qt5 only

2016-05-31T07:41:48.202000Z

We added support for dynamic metaobject creation (QtCore.Signal, QtCore.Property, QtCore.Slot), which
is only supported on Qt5 and makes use of the private QMetaObjectBuilder.

This code is not backwards compatible to Qt4 and we decided to stop Qt4 support on the svn trunk.
The last working Qt4 version can be found in the SVN at branches/Qt4LastWorkingVersion/.

PythonQt 3.0 released

2015-02-04T13:07:08.639000Z

PythonQt 3.0 has just been released. After three years of small improvements on the SVN trunk, it was about time to do an official release.

The following features have been added:

Python 3 support
Qt 5 support
C++/Python ownership tracking for most of the Qt API
better support for Pylint and jedi completion library (by e.g. implementing doc strings on slots)
wrapping of all protected methods and protected enums
many small improvements and bug fixes

Note that the CMake support for Qt5 is not yet ready, so please use the provided qmake profiles instead.

If you want to contribute CMake files that support both Qt4 and Qt5 and can build both PythonQt and the code generator then please don't hesitate to contact the PythonQt author.

PythonQt 2.1 is out!

2012-06-25T14:23:10Z

The PythonQt 2.1 release is ready for download. We provide a legacy version with Qt 4.6.2 wrappers and a version with newly generated wrappers for Qt 4.8.

In addition to many bug fixes the following features have been added:

- support for new style signals
- improved introspection
- support for external object wrapping via PythonQtForeignWrapperFactory, e.g. to support existing SWIG wrappers
- improved ownership handling of wrapped C++ (non-QObject) objects

Enjoy!

PythonQt 2.0.1 is available

2010-05-15T20:16:51Z

The PythonQt 2.0 release contained a last minute feature that broke Python startup of PythonQt, this is fixed in the PythonQt 2.0.1 release and on SVN trunk. Lesson learned: Never add last minute features without running your unit tests.

PythonQt 2.0 is available

2010-05-07T20:30:39Z

This is the first PythonQt release that offers complete wrapping of the Qt framework using a wrapper generator. The core PythonQt library is still fully dynamic using the QMetaObject system, while the generator adds the parts of Qt which are not QObjects or signal/slots. Large parts of PythonQt have been rewritten since the last 1.1 release. PythonQt now supports multiple inheritance, polymorphic downcasting and a lot of other details which you can find in the documentation.
Deriving C++ classes from Python is now supported as well, but it is an experimental feature which has not been tested a lot.
A comparison to PyQt and PySide APIs has been added to the feature overview of the website.

PythonQt 1.1 update available

2009-03-31T14:03:01Z

This PythonQt 1.1 release offers a lot of small fixes and improvements to the project, after a long period of silence.
