PythonQt_CTK_Qt5

• The version of PythonQt used by CTK, for use in test projects; with build scripts edited to support Qt 5.7.0.
• Unfortunately I was not able to identify the exact version of PythonQt this was based off of, I would guess it's related to the commontk/PythonQt repository.
• This is an unofficial edit of PythonQt, you can find the original readme files that came with the repository in z_old_README and z_old_README.md
• Only Release builds are supported at this time, tested with Qt 5.7.0 and Visual Studio 2013 (on Windows).

Usage

1. Configure PythonQt. Set up a build directory and run cmakegui in there, you will need to provide the build script with Qt5_DIR, for me it's C:\Qt\Qt5.7.0\5.7\msvc2013_64\lib\cmake\Qt5

2. Open up the PythonQt solution in the build directory, build it as a Release build (change it in the Solution's configuration manager).

3. Build the PythonQt project, you should not get any errors or warnings

4. In PythonQt_CTK\examples\ExpressionTesting, open MyPythonQtTestProj.pro in QtCreator

5. Open this .pro file in QtCreator's text editor, and make any edits to directories/copy files as needed for your setup (there are comments explaining directories that you may need to modify).

6. Build the project in Release mode, and run it

Example code

The main reason I made this was to test out the capabilities of PythonQt and show some quirks, namely this workflow for setting up an array parameter to a Python function.

  QVariantList parameters;
  QVariant a = QVariant::fromValue(22);
  QVariant b = QVariant::fromValue(35);
  QVariantList items = {a,b};

  // It will let you append a QVariantList to a QVariantList, but it doesn't actually wrap it in a QVariant for you
  // and it will not actually be able to do anything with it.
  QVariant items_Variant = QVariant::fromValue(items);
  parameters.append(items_Variant);

  QVariant arrayResult = mainModule.call("takesInArray", parameters);
