""" **pyqode.qt** is a shim over the various qt bindings. It is used to write qt bindings indenpendent library or application. The shim will automatically select the first available API (PyQt5, PyQt4 and finally PySide). You can force the use of one specific bindings (e.g. if your application is using one specific bindings and you need to use library that use pyqode.qt) by setting up the ``QT_API`` environment variable. PyQt5 +++++ For pyqt5, you don't have to set anything as it will be used automatically:: >>> from pyqode.qt import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore >>> print(QtWidgets.QWidget) PyQt4 +++++ Set the ``QT_API`` environment variable to 'PyQt4' (case insensitive) before importing any python package:: >>> import os >>> os.environ['QT_API'] = 'PyQt4' >>> from pyqode.qt import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore >>> print(QtWidgets.QWidget) .. warning:: This requires to set the SIP api to version 2 (for strings and covariants). If you're using python2 you have to make sure the correct sip api is set before importing any PyQt4 module (pyqode.qt can take care of that for you but it must be imported before any PyQt4 module). PySide ++++++ Set the QT_API environment variable to 'PySide' (case insensitive) before importing pyqode:: >>> import os >>> os.environ['QT_API'] = 'PySide' >>> from pyqode.qt import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore >>> print(QtWidgets.QWidget) """ import os import sys import logging __version__ = '2.5.dev' #: Qt API environment variable name QT_API = 'QT_API' #: name of the expected PyQt5 api PYQT5_API = 'pyqt5' #: name of the expected PyQt4 api PYQT4_API = 'pyqt4' #: name of the expected PySide api PYSIDE_API = 'pyside' class PythonQtError(Exception): """ Error raise if no bindings could be selected """ pass def setup_apiv2(): """ Setup apiv2 when using PyQt4 and Python2.
