PyQt in Softimage trouble

Coding

I’ve been working on getting PyQt in softimage working for about a week with the PyQtSI plugin. I’ve been in touch with the author and he says that it works for him but for me even with a new (2 week old) installation of windows and a fresh install of softimage 2013 I get the following error after I try to use python to call a SI command after I press a button. It should make a cube. I have tried with another plugin by Blur which also gives PyQt functionality but the error is similar, saying that Application is not defined.

I tried compiling the plugin from source but there was no difference. I also asked si-community but no luck. I’ve spent a long time trying to get this to work because pyqt is so easy to use.


from PyQt4 import QtCore
from PyQt4 import QtGui
import sip

anchor = sip.wrapinstance(long(Application.getQtSoftimageAnchor()), QtGui.QWidget)

class ExampleCubeMaker(QtGui.QDialog):
	def __init__(self, parent):
		QtGui.QDialog.__init__(self, parent)
		self.setGeometry( 100, 100, 200, 100 )
		self.btn = QtGui.QPushButton("Make Cube", self)
		self.btn.clicked.connect(self.cubeMaker)
		layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
		layout.addWidget(self.btn)
        
	def cubeMaker(self):
		Application.CreatePrim("Cube", "MeshSurface", "", "")

	def showAtMouse(self):
		self.show()
		pos = QtGui.QCursor.pos()
		self.move(pos.x(), pos.y())

def ExampleCubeMaker_Execute():
    dialog = ExampleCubeMaker(anchor)
    dialog.showAtMouse()

ExampleCubeMaker_Execute()

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “<Script Block >”, line 17, in cubeMaker

Basically I just downloaded PyQt and dropped it in the softimage lib/site-packages and then install the addon and run the script.

[B]Edit: Solved this problem by using the Blur pyQt and adding these lines to the top

import win32com.client
xsi = win32com.client.Dispatch( “XSI.Application” ).Application[/B]
