Note: We are still moving files over from a private repo into this repo. This project should not be relied upon until the migration is complete. As of 8/17/2015 20% has been moved here. #PythonicQt PythonicQt is an MIT licensed Python package that wraps and expands PySide to make development more pythonic.

Many classes in PySide do not fit a Pythonic paradigm. This package aims to subclass PySide classes and provide more python ways of using the classes. For example, having a context manager for the opening of a QFile. In addition to enhancing existing PySide classes, the package aims to provide new convenient boilerplate implementations of Models and Widgets. The ListModel is an example; it is python-like list that is also a subclass of QAbstractListModel.

##Planned/Implemented Features Here are just a few planned and/or implemented features in PythonicQt:

• ListModel: a convenient Python container implementation of a QAbstractListModel
• debounce: a decorator that debounces methods of QObjects using QTimers.

##Requirements

• Python: 2.7.x or 3.x
• PySide: 1.2.1 or higher
• six: 1.8.0 or higher
• pytest: 2.6.1 or higher (for testing)

Currently the source code is hosted at: https://github.com/Digirolamo/pythonicqt There will be a PyPi release after the package is more usable.

You can run the testing suite by running:

python setup.py test

or after installing the package running:

python -m pythonicqt.tests

You can view examples after installing the package by running:

python -m pythonicqt.examples
