so when it comes to python support in future, there are 2 possibilities i can
see:
* python bindings for Applet, but all the UI still done in QML and python gets
used as we currently use C++ for hybrid applets
* we decide that all extensions to QML are done through Plasma plugins
(services, dataengines, etc.) or QML imports. this would mean there would be
no need for python and QML to ever come together. we could write QML imports,
services, dataengines, models, etc. in python perhaps .. but not the plasmoids
themselves.
the latter has numerous advantages in that it keeps the development story
simple, gives us a fighting chance at one day having reliable sandboxing and
doesn't incur the overhead of multiple interpreters running to make the UI
functional.
I'm way behind the curve when it comes to Plasma and KF5 at the moment.
But I'm now trying to get on top of it all and develop a plan for Python
bindings in KDE 5. At the very least, I'll be moving to from Python 2 to
Python 3 for applets in KDE 5.
That above stuff above is exactly the kind of information I want to hear
about. I'll be at FOSDEM next month and more than happy to chat further.
cheers,
