I wish QT Creator will have built-in support for Python (along with PySide), I really like that IDE, it's really well designed for its sole purpose with a minimal UI (when being compared with Visual Studio).

Power of QT + Productivity of QT Creator + Simplicity of Python = Amazing, IMHO.

PySide-powered python scripts can be frozen into binaries with various tools such as cxFreeze, that's a good thing.

BTW, QT Creator is one of my inspiration sources for my new text editor with a Firebug-like UI for testing css/html in real-time (http://liveditor.com).




You could always add a Python/PySide module/plugin for QtCreator. It has pretty solid (though slightly underdocumented, sadly) plugin support and you can do fantastic things with it. It's also an open source project, so nothing stopping third parties like yourself from adding missing features.

Having said that, if Digia were to officially support Python/PySide in QtCreator/QtSDK, that would be really really awesome.


I wrote a Qt Creator plugin a while ago that does code completion, tooltips, navigation, etc. for Python source code. I never did anything specifically for PySide but it might be fun to try: https://github.com/davidsansome/pyqtc


Is there already a nice way to do the freeze under OS X? I vaguely remember a simple hello world app being 50-100MB, as the tools had no clue which parts are actually needed.
