Python bindings for the Qt cross-platform application and UI framework
Project description
Introduction
PySide is the Python Qt bindings project, providing access the complete Qt 4.8 framework as well as to generator tools for rapidly generating bindings for any C++ libraries.
The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities you’d expect from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository [1], an open Bugzilla [2] for reporting bugs, and an open design process [3]. We welcome any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright.
Compatibility
PySide requires Python 2.6 or later and Qt 4.6 or better.
Installing PySide from source on a Windows System
Installing prerequisities
Install Python 2.7.
Install Qt 4.7 libraries for Windows (VS 2008). (PySide version 1.1.1 does not support Qt 4.8 on Windows System)
Install Cmake 2.8.
Install MS Visual Studio Express 2008.
Install Git 1.7.
(Optional) Install OpenSSL.
Install latest distribute distribution into the Python you installed in the first step: download distribute_setup.py and run it using the python interpreter of your Python 2.7 installation using a command prompt:
c:\> c:\Python27\python distribute_setup.py
Use that Python’s bin/easy_install to install virtualenv:
c:\> c:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install virtualenv
Use that Python’s virtualenv to make a workspace:
c:\> c:\Python27\Scripts\virtualenv env
Open Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt:
c:\> c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008\Visual Studio Tools\Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt.lnk
Switch to the env directory:
c:\> cd env
Installing PySide
Use pip to get PySide installed:
c:\env> Scripts\pip install PySide --install-option="--qmake=c:\\Qt\\4.7.4\\bin\\qmake.exe"
Optionally you can specify the path to OpenSSL libs:
c:\env> Scripts\pip install PySide --install-option="--openssl=c:\\OpenSSL32bit\\bin" --install-option="--qmake=c:\\Qt\\4.7.4\\bin\\qmake.exe"
Building PySide installer
Clone PySide from git repository:
c:\> git clone https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git pyside-setup
Switch to the pyside-setup directory:
c:\> cd pyside-setup
Build PySide windows installer:
c:\> c:\Python27\python setup.py bdist_wininst --qmake=c:\Qt\4.7.4\bin\qmake.exe --openssl=c:\OpenSSL32bit\bin
Installing PySide from source on a UNIX System (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
Installing prerequisities
Install Python 2.7 header files and a static library:
$ sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev
Install Qt 4.8 libraries:
$ sudo apt-get install qt-sdk
Install cmake:
$ sudo apt-get install cmake
Install git:
$ sudo apt-get install git
Install latest distribute distribution into the Python you installed in the first step: download distribute_setup.py and run it using the python interpreter of your Python 2.7 installation using a command prompt:
$ sudo python distribute_setup.py
Use that Python’s bin/easy_install to install virtualenv:
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv
Use that Python’s virtualenv to make a workspace:
$ virtualenv env
Installing PySide
Use pip to get PySide installed from PyPI:
$ env/bin/pip install PySide
Alternatively you can install development version of PySide from github repository:
$ env/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git
You can also specify version of PySide when installing from github repository:
$ env/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git@1.1.1
Building PySide distribution egg
Clone PySide from git repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git pyside-setup
Switch to the pyside-setup directory:
$ cd pyside-setup
Build PySide distribution egg:
$ env/bin/python setup.py bdist_egg
Optionally you can build standalone version of distribution egg with embedded Qt libs:
$ env/bin/python setup.py bdist_egg --standalone
