[PyKDE] Re: [C++-sig] Can boost.python and PyQt be used together?

[Paul F. Kunz]

   Its me again.   This time, I've got my Python extension modules
working completely with Boost.Python wrapped alone.   That is...

[pfkeb at Kunz-pbdsl1 testsuite]$ python
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Oct 15 2002, 07:42:56) 
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from hippo import *
>>> app = HDApp(1)
>>> cw = CanvasWindow()
>>> cw.show()
>>> app.exec_loop()

works fine.   In the above, `HDApp' is not derived from
QApplication, but delegates to a class which does.   CanvasWindow
wraps a C++ class which derives from QMainWindow.

Now I modify the dclock.py example that comes with PyQt to...

a = QApplication(sys.argv)
clock = DigitalClock()
clock.resize(170,80)
a.setMainWidget(clock)
clock.show()

cw = CanvasWindow() # added
cw.show()           # added

a.exec_loop()

and get ...

   It really appears to me that Boost.Python extensions and SIP Python
extensions are incompatible with each other.   Or there is still
something that I'm doing wrong.

   Any suggestions on how to proceed?
