Talk:Qt for Python

Qt Forum Qt For Python subcategory

There is no link to the Qt For Python subcategory? https://forum.qt.io/category/58/qt-for-python ?

Can we add one? > There was one called "Qt Forum" just under the mailing list. I remove the duplicate link to the forum.

Misleading 'getting started'

In the "Getting Started" section, the first hyperlink is described as a broad non-specific collection of guides.

The second hyperlink, specifically titled "Getting Started", is actually a page for building instructions which the average user doesn't have to follow at all, despite the fact that "getting started" is usually NEVER used to refer to building instructions of any kind in software documentation.

On top of that page, there's a minuscule box labeled "important" in small text (its contents are also small text), right between two gigantic titles, followed by a series of dependencies.

After the dependencies, there's a 3-choice for operating platforms. If you choose the Windows one - nevermind a small warning - there is no warning at all in the page to inform you that these instructions aren't necessarily to get started with PySide, they are just for building.

I trusted that this wiki and the Qt documentation would comply with the standard meaning of "to get started", and that I would be guided into where I need to go.

Instead, I followed a building guide believing it must be done. The building instructions didn't even succeed despite my complying with them to the letter.

Later, I had to leave the Windows "getting started" - which has no small warning at all - return to the initial one, and only from here, check the page, then seek where the actual instructions are: in the docs' Quick Start page. Which is nowhere to be found among this wikipage's links.
