Stripped 2 out of 3 dependencies, only pyblish-base is required now!

Also added installation instructions to README. More to come.

Before

1. Install pyblish-rpc
2. Install pyblish-integration
3. Install pyblish-maya, or something like it.
4. Install pyblish-qml
5. Launch Pyblish QML in terminal
6. Start server within your host
7. Emit a show signal to Pyblish QML
8. Done.

After

1. Install pyblish-qml
2. Launch Pyblish QML in terminal
3. pyblish_qml.show()

Guessing this will the standalone as well?

You mean replace pyblish-standalone? The roles haven't changed, just that you no longer will need to install RPC or Integration separately. Standalone should still be relevant in the same way.

[tokejepsen]

You mean replace pyblish-standalone?

Yeah, since we are getting rid on pyblish-maya etc., was thinking that pyblish-standalone would be merged as well?

[mottosso]

pyblish-maya remains, it still contains plug-ins and helper functionality related to Maya. It's just the QML part being stripped, to make room for alternative GUIs, such as Lite.

[tokejepsen]

Ahh, I see. Got confused from your Before/After :)

[mottosso]

Cool. :) Does it make sense though? I'm looking for ways to make QML simpler, while at the same time open up for other GUIs. At the moment, pyblish-maya and other integrations are quite heavily dependent on QML.

[tokejepsen]

It does make sense, and I think the simplicity is going to serve new people very well.

At the moment, pyblish-maya and other integrations are quite heavily dependent on QML.

Guessing ideally you would just have some plugins for each integration?

[mottosso]

Plug-ins that are common across integrations, and specific things like the menu item, yes. Anything specific to a particular host, basically.

The next challenge is how to get the menu item to come from something like pyblish-maya, but trigger pyblish-qml, pyblish-lite or any other GUI. Still thinking about that..

[BigRoy]

How about something similar to register_host () but for GUI. register_gui ("QML", gui_method)
Possibly passing it the method to instantiate it directly or passing it the command to run. "import pyblish_qml; pyblish_qml.show ()"
The latest registered gui could be the active one. Similarly one can list the available gui and enable another one again.

[mottosso]

Thanks Roy, I'll give that a try.

Nothing better than reducing the size of a project. <3

[mottosso]

Ok, guys. It would be great if you could give these changes a try.

Have a look at the README for how it's meant to be used.

[mottosso]

@BigRoy done. Let me know what you think.
