This sounds like QPyBind11 to me? Mark

This idea, as you can see in the code is to run Python code within C++ code, quite different from the bindings, but hey, maybe an example is more clear. With QtScrypt (Following the idea of the old QtScript module) You can have C++ code, and at some point that evaluates Python code and get some result back, say: QScryptEngine e; qDebug() << "something, something" << e.evaluate("[i for i in range(10)]"); and you can get a QVariantList with the numerical values, same idea with a Python function, like: # your_file.py def power_of_two(x): return x**2 you can call it from C++ like QScryptModule mod("your_file.py") QScryptFunction f("power_of_two", &mod); qDebug() << "power_of_two(4): " << f.call(4); // you get 16 as a QVariant So now, PyQt and PySide provide bindings Python for the Qt API, like having: button = QPushButton("press me!") button.clicked.connect(some_slot) on Python files. > > > Hopefully it's not a QtDeadParrot, I'd prefer a QtHolyGrail... :-P > > > [I'll see myself out now and do something useful instead, sorry.] No worries, it's useful to ask things are are unknown to ourselves :) So, as the original email states, this is for a 'playground' repository, because I was literally playing with this idea on a Hackathon, and after presenting it in some talks in Qt conferences/workshops, some folks thought it was something interesting to play with. > > Konrad Cheers -- Dr. Cristián Maureira-Fredes Senior R&D Manager The Qt Company GmbH Erich-Thilo-Str. 10 D-12489 Berlin Geschäftsführer: Mika Pälsi, Juha Varelius, Jouni Lintunen Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin, Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 144331 B _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
