0.4.0
This release includes guards against problems related to co-existence.
Co-existence
Great care is taken to make sure Qt.py does not affect the original binding. This means no chances can be made to any pre-existing member.
Before, this care was made by eye. But now this care is automated and guarded against per commit, pull-request and at run-time (at minimal cost).
Theory
Notice the add
and remap
functions.
These replace the previous layout of remapping and adding.
# Before
PyQt4.QtWidgets = PyQt4.QtGui
# After
remap(PyQt4, "QtWidgets", PyQt4.QtGui)
By using a function as opposed to directly assigning, we lose out on readability, but gain security.
The safe=True
argument is meant to facilitate times where we do overwrite, but ensure to include a full array of tests to ensure the original member has not been broken.
The Qt.__modified__
list of strings holds any members that do alter an existing member of the original binding.
Today, no member uses safe=False
and __modified__
is empty as it should.
