An honest representation of the Qt API, provided by Qt.py.
This project is born of a blog post I wrote.
Most tutorials and examples for PyQt/PySide replicate the feeling of the static code by importing everything into the global namespace:
import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
hello = QPushButton("Hello world!")
hello.show()
exit(app.exec_())
This is an anti-pattern, as we know that from whatever import * is bad.
qtapi2 dynamically locates the symbols you likely meant to use, providing something much more akin to writing Qt in C++:
import sys
from qtapi2 import Q
app = Q.Application(sys.argv)
hello = Q.PushButton("Hello world!")
hello.show()
exit(app.exec_())
If you need a specific symbol that collides, you can refer to them through their module:
Q.Widgets.Dialog
# vs
Q.t.Dialog
or their full names:
Q.Widgets.QDialog
# vs
Q.t.WindowType.Dialog
