PythonQt

License

PythonQt is a dynamic Python binding for Qt. It offers an easy way to embed the Python scripting language into your Qt applications.

Documentation

API documentation is available at: https://mevislab.github.io/pythonqt

Licensing

PythonQt is distributed under the LGPL 2.1 license.

Licensing of Generator

The build system of PythonQt makes use of a patched version of the LGPL'ed QtScript generator, located in the generator directory.

See the LICENSE.LGPL file in the generator subdirectory for details. Copyright (C) 2009 Nokia Corporation and/or its subsidiary(-ies)

See https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-labs/qtscriptgenerator.git for the original project. The PythonQt wrappers generated by the generator are distributed under the LGPL as well.

The generated wrappers are pre-generated and checked-in, so you only need to build and run the generator when you want to build additional wrappers or you want to upgrade/downgrade to another Qt version, but this requires updating the typesystems as well.

Building

Building on Windows with MinGW

To build PythonQt, you need to set the environment variable PYTHON_PATH to point to the root dir of the python installation and PYTHON_LIB to point to the directory where the python lib file is located. Then you should set the PYTHON_VERSION variable to the Python version number.

When using the prebuild Python installer, this will be:

set PYTHON_PATH = c:\Python38
set PYTHON_LIB  = c:\Python38\libs
set PYTHON_VERSION = 38
