A Qt plugin providing access to a Python 3 interpreter from QML for creating asynchronous mobile and Desktop UIs with Python.
- Qt >= 5.1.0
- Python >= 3.3.0
To build and install the QML plugin:
qmake
make
make install
To build against a specific Python version, use:
qmake PYTHON_CONFIG=python3.3-config
make
make install
To manually update the qmltypes file on x64 Linux (TODO: make this automated):
qmake
make
make INSTALL_ROOT=$(pwd)/tmp/
QML2_IMPORT_PATH=$(pwd)/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml \
make -C src qmltypes
To run the included unit tests after building, use:
./tests/tests
If you want to link PyOtherSide statically against Python 3, you can include the Python Standard Library in PyOtherSide as Qt Resource and have it extracted automatically on load, for this, zip up the Standard Library and place the .zip file as "pythonlib.zip" into src/ before running qmake.
