== Pyside for Qt 5.x ==
 
The Pyside 2 project aims to provide a complete port of PySide to Qt 5.x. The development started on [https://github.com/PySide GitHub] in May 2015. The project managed to port Pyside to Qt 5.3, 5.4 & 5.5. During April 2016 The Qt Company decided to properly support the port (see [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pyside-dev/pqwzngAGLWE details] ).
 
This wiki page tracks the progress of PySide for Qt 5.x development and provides further information concerning the effort.
 
=== Tools ===
The following tools are used to develop PySide2:
* Bug tracker: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE
* CodeReview: 
** https://codereview.qt-project.org
** [https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/q/project:%255Epyside.%252B,n,z PySide2 open patches]
* Git repo: ssh://codereview.qt-project.org/pyside/pyside-setup (5.9 branch is the branch currently worked on for PySide2)

The most current view of the progress can be found in Jira:
 
# [https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=17825 Unresolved issues]
# [https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=18025 All issues (including resolved)]
 
The second link is useful to monitor the progress of the backlog. The best way to achieve this is to sort the list by the "Updated" column.
Larger backlog/feature items are filed as "User Stories" in Jira.

==== 1. June 2017 ====
- PYSIDE-500
- https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2_GettingStarted needs a serious cleanup
  - 5.6 vs 5.9 differences not explained
  - specify exact version matching conditions
- pyside repo merge completed

==== 18. May 2017 ====
- Coin
  - Win nodes didn't run the cleanup functions -> test failures due to artifacts -> no solution yet
  - Clang issues persist and this must be addressed in the broader scope of Qt/qdoc depending on libclang too
    -> until this point in time the setup is a manual one for pyside/5.9+
- merge of psyide repositories -> no objections against the plan in the community
  -> merge will happen in the next few days (pyside.git, pyside-setup.git and shiboken.git become one repo)
  -> examples, wiki and tools will remain as they are
- QOpenGL* porting continuing
- qttext2speech ported to Pyside2
- failing QML tests in Qt 5.9 based Pyside
- PYSIDE-510 - introspection solution in the works
- Qt World Summit Berlin 2017 (talk for Pyside being handed in)
 
==== 12. May 2017 ====
- looked into the Windows tests failures, and the reason might be related to how we copy around build artifacts, leading to an incorrect folder structure. Coin team to look at it.
- Fixed a small regression in 5.9 with building on macOS after some cmake changes that happened in 5.6
- Implemented, tested, reviewed and committed the multimedia widgets examples
- documentation from Pyside1 days can not be generated anymore
  -> new approach required using exiting Qt5 doc tools
- QOpenGL* port to Pyside has started -> missing support for arrays in shiboken
  - more thorough design discussion needed
- Coin
  - provisioning for clang in Qt CI ongoing: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/192517/10

  - libclang 4.0 provisioning available (code reviews ongoing -> enabler for Pyside and qdoc testing)
  - 5.6 coin issues resolved
  - macOS related CI/cmake failures were resolved
  - some CI sync issues among pyside submodules (always submodules HEAD is tested)
  => may have to change once we come closer to the final release ->
  => fine as long as we are in heavy development mode
  - discussion around Ubuntu and OpenSuse configurations
  - minimal cmake requirements not met on all distros
    - 5.6 only be build using RedHat 6.6
    - 5.9 builds have updated Linux distros -> may be able to obtain a new cmake version without hacking the standard toolchain
- QtMultimedia and QRaster* API bindings further completed
- added tests and examples for the above bindings/APIs
- PYSIDE-510 (required for simplified and more generic testing of bindings)
- PYSIDE-504 work is ongoing
- PYSIDE-507 -> avoid hardcoded includes when certain Qt modules are not available

  - other failures: missing libraries on MacOS (10.11), missing provisioning on Windows, cmake issues on 10.10
  - unknown state on Linux (current Redhat too old)
- Prioritization after status round:
  - PYSIDE-315 to be investigated based on recent signal/slot patches for QML
  - Smart pointer issues reduced in priority to provide space for PYSIDE-315 & PYSIDE-79 regression
- verify that COIN runs testrunner (not just building Pyside)

- work on COIN did not progress due to conflicting priorities inside COIN development
 
==== 3 November 2016 ====
- working through the QML stack esnuring all required API's are exported (https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/175682/)
- small build system patches
- PYSIDE-79 work progressing
- OpenGL support fixed (PYSIDE-314)
- COIN issues
    - repo interdepencies not working yet, suggestion under discussion and to be implemented
    - most license checks have been fixed
    - Qt 5.6 based Pyside to skip check
    - after branching for C++11 work the dev branch should work from license check perspective
    - eventually the entire CI needs to run through (more hidden problems could be hidden)
- Started working on C++11 compliant parser for shiboken
    - libclang will be used
    - first target is to replace the AST tree implementation
    - requires clang setup in the CI
 
==== 27 October 2016 ====
- Work on WebKit/WebEngine support
- Further work on [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-431 COIN] support
- Planning meeting
- Workshop for C++11 support in Pyside ([https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-323 PYSIDE-323])
 
==== 20 October 2016 ====
- [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-355 Qt Quick support] submitted
- [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-314 QtOpenGL support] submitted
- Further work on [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-431 COIN] support, license headers
==== 13 October 2016 ====
- Qt CI update
  - Coin changes have merged but integration not yet working
  - Qt CI enables on Pyside side merged
  => COIN integration fails with license issues
  => requires review of license conditions for all files, some files are not even relicensable
  => skipping license check for now, most likely to be done later again but requires changes to license check script
  - more issues of interworking between QtCI and Pyside expected (won't be visible until license problems resolved)
  Open issue: does a change in Pyside repo trigger a rebuild of everything?
- Qt QML support progressing and first patches merged
  - serious bugs have been fixed, more complex QML examples are now working
 
==== 29 September 2016 ====
- Coin integration close but not merged
- Bugfixing in particular on the shiboken parser side
- QML/Python binding and tests fixed -> general check all day-to-day aspects of QML are working
- QML examples porting
    -> still some failing tests
    -> Check all QML/Quick class are exported
 
==== 22 September 2016 ====
- Refactored Shiboken, udnerstanding build sequences
- black list for unit tests defined and tested
- fixing of tests
- QML example fixing continued (QML bindings not working)
- Pyside side for COIN done (pending integration checks)
- COIN integration still wip due to long test and retest cycles
- pyside and shiboken repo to be relicensed similar to other Qt products
=> this should address any issues regarding the status of generated code too
==== 16 September 2016 ====
- Pyside side for CI testing ready for testing
- status of COIN side to be determined. Code exists need help from CI team to confirm status.
- build system infrastructure improvements in pyside setup
- Qt logging now working
- and more
- Update on bug handling
  - PYSIDE-88 continuing
  - PYSIDE-349 (Multimedia ported)
  - PYSIDE-344 fix pending on codereview
  - make debug builds of Pyside work (OSX works, Linux has work in progress patch, Windows side awaiting contribution)
- QML support work in progress
  - examples are slowly ported with aim to identify bugs
 
==== 25 August 2016 ====
- Properly implementing QML experience in Pyside
- Unit test fixing
- automated CI testing for Pyside
  - working locally but still failures occurring on various other test machines
 
==== 4 August 2016 ====
- Additional Pyside examples under review
- Fixed warnings coming from Shiboken
 
==== 21 July 2016 ====
 
- main Pyside 2 example port done
- additional examples to fill gaps are being ported (as per prio list)
- CI patches running, but still gaps (should be done by next week)
- about 86% of auto test working (failing count of test 80+ auto test)
- [[pyside-Teststatus|Project Test Status]]
 
==== 14 July 2016 ====
 
- Pyside 2 examples ported
- OpenGL & SVG not working
- QtQuick 2 is in strange situation (QtQml depends on QtQuick)
- Python 3 realed Unicode handling not working with Qt
- QMessageBox hangs
- no documentation for any example
- lots of warnings when building wrapper
- results: https://paste.kde.org/pgje2toyh/mlbqic
- COIN setup for pyside https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/158336/
- Qt 5.7 still blocked due to missing C++11 support in shiboken
    - food for ideas: https://steveire.wordpress.com/
 
 
==== 7 July 2016 ====
 
- automated CI testing
- patches for Pyside and Qt CI side required
- Testing somewhat more complicated due to closed nature of Qt CI
- script to port examples to Qt 5 -> https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?jql=labels%20%3D%20exampleport5
- all examples to remain BSD licensed
