Hey all,<br>
<br>
When someone involved gets a chance, could you give a quick summary of what we get with the new VTK_WRAP_PYTHON_SIP option? I don't understand enough about wrapping in general to follow anything too detailed, but I was wondering if there was a simple example of what new things this will allow us to do, or what it is building towards?<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I think this is Clinton's Qt/VTK wrapping work, allowing you to use both VTK and PyQt to build rich applications in Python. It would be great to get an overview of where this is at, I have been watching some of the threads exchanging information with David Gobbi with great interest.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One of the large challenges is getting Qt objects into and out of VTK objects. I did some previous work where we had to use sip to bridge the two Python wrapped modules (our library and PyQt). I will not guess any further, but I think this is basically what is being done.</div>
