its coming friends. im assuming python 3 will be in our future as well

Exciting! Do we know which iteration of Qt 5? There is at least one function introduced in 5.2 that would be nice to have (QThreadPool.clear()). And the latest version is 5.5.

i would imagine they would shoot for the latest, but who knows. with AD behind it, maybe they’ll keep up with everything

Looking through the bitbucket repo, I can’t actually see a reference to the version. But yeah hopefully aiming towards the latest.

So this popped up on the pyside-dev mailing list:

As a quick note to all:

On the weekend, I pushed five repos to github/PySide.

This is my current working set. Everything is in the “qt5” branches.

GitHub - pyside/pyside2: Placeholder repository for the Gitter chat room
GitHub - pyside/pyside2-setup: ATTENTION: This repository is no longer up to date and was moved to http://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/ more information https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2
GitHub - pyside/pyside2-tools
GitHub - pyside/pyside2-examples: 2016-06-23 Attention: This repository is no longer writable, because all development was transferred into -- origin https://code.qt.io/pyside/pyside-setup (public read) -- gerrit ssh://codereview.qt-project.org/pyside/pyside-setup (writing with a Qt account) You will find further instructions at https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2 See also the local README.xxx file.

The code builds for everything relevant but a bit of QtWidgets. This will be
fixed, tomorrow.

Then testing can be started, and the things that I did not do, yet.
This will go into the issue tracker.

Cheers - Chris

Its in 5.4 currently, and I think the main guy is trying to get it to 5.5 currently. He’s keeping them as separate branches right now until he figures out what are the differences.
