Wrapping C++ Qt widget for using in Python with PySide

Question

What is the best approach for wrapping a custom C++ library with custom Qt display widgets in Python for using in a PySide based QApplication? Does the C++ library need special treatment for wrapping with SWIG? Will wrapped Qt widgets integrate properly with PySide?

I would appreciate any comments on the appropriate nomenclature needed to refine my unsuccessful searches on this subject.

Answer 1

The Shiboken bindings tool used to generate the PySide bindings for Qt turns out to be the right tool for the job.

The basic procedure for generating the bindings for a custom C++ library is outlined here: http://lynxline.com/superhybrids-part-2-now-qt-pyside/
