[scribus-dev] Scripter: Your feedback is required

[Andreas Vox]

Hi Chris!

 

Currently we use PyQt, which in turn uses SIP. That way we only have to register the right QObjects and PyQt does the rest.

 

If I understand correctly, PySide does something similar?

I'd be delighted to see "scripter2" see daylight. Especially if the scribus CLI option was also available (not sure if this happened or was just a thought).

I've being toying with porting "scripter2" as a personal project using qt5, python3 and c++11 for a bit with some limited success.

My questions are:

1) What is it's current status?

2) Has there been any work done on it?

 

Sorry for being too lazy to go find the code, but a question:

 

What tool(s) are being used to develop the Python / C++ bridge? This can make all the difference as to how easy it is to write a robust Python API.

 

If you want to be able to script the GUI, then it may make sense to use PySide, and then use it's tool for developing other C++ / Python bindings:

Otherwise, I'm a big fan of Cython for calling C/C++ code from Python. It allows tight integration and complete control and best-possible performance. And there is X-Dress, for auto-generating Cython code that calls C/C++. I haven't actually tried that yet, though...
