PyQt4 for Maya 2014

[Jo Jürgens]

Does anyone have a compiled version of PyQt for Maya 2014/Windows64, or know where to find one. Using PySide is not an option - we have tens of thousands of lines of gui code that are super stable under PyQt and crash almost instantly when run inside Maya (or Nuke/Hiero/Rv) with PySide

Thanks

Just an FYI on this, I've both compiled my own PyQt and tried other versions of PyQt for Maya 2014, and for some reason it works (brings up the window with all the controls), but the slots don't seem to connect (nothing responds when clicked).  With a VERY simple test code, it works.  But in all of my tests with bigger projects, starting with Maya 2014, PyQt seems to have issues, where it worked perfectly in Maya 2013 and before.  It could be something in the way I'm coding, I don't know, but it has been consistent across installs.  I fought with this for several months when I was switching to 2014 before I gave up on it.  I finally made a point of converting my library over to PySide and everything just worked, once I got past the nuances of not having QStrings etc.  It did take a few days to track everything down, but now I'm 100% PySide and happier for it.  If you do get it working, though, let us know!

I went ahead and uploaded this version to GitHub.
https://github.com/pyqt/maya2014-qt4

If anyone has, would like or needs other versions, or versions for other platforms, let me know and we’ll put it up too.

Best,
Marcus

Thank you very very much.

This appears to work, though I havent tested it that much yet. Signals/slots seem to work fine.

I also tested this with Rv 4.2 (which uses Python 2.7), and it turns out to work beautifully - much more stable than with standard PyQt. Ive had several guis that would crash instantly in Rv, but with Maya PyQt they appear to work

You're welcome. :)

This version should work fine with any Python interpreter compiled using VS2010. Maya 2014 is, Nuke 8 is, and it's possible that RV is too. Maya 2015 however is VS2012 and will (or should) require another version of PyQt4. Once I find it (or build it) I'll put it up as well.

Best,

Marcus
