There is an alternative to PyQt, that the Qt company intends to make a
first-class citizen of the Qt ecosystem, namely PySide(2). The project
languished after Nokia sold Qt to what is know "The Qt Company", but
development is ongoing again. For details, see https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2 and
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pyside-dev/pqwzngAGLWE/kXUpXBhILAAJ For the
record, I do not use PySide (or PyQt for that matter) and I do not know what
the current status is of this endeavor.
Kind regards, Pieter.

There is a way to make this into a small task
One of my experiments of testing my Pharo to Python bridge (What I have named
project "Atlas") was to build a QT hello world example. It created a problem
because I was using python threads that QT does not like (it offers its own
kind of threads) but after changing the code to use no threads, it worked.
My bridge is not like UFFI where anything has to be wrapped because unlike C ,
Python is a dynamic language so there is no need for wrappers because Atlas
allows dynamic execution of code. But of course there is the issues of data
types and how they can be mapped to Pharo and the fact that PyQT free version
is GPL and commercial is 500 dollars which sits of course on top of the
commercial version of QT. So at the time I decided to not pursue it.
I will give it a try and see how far it can goes, at worst I may offer a
partial solution to using QT with Pharo. Then someone else can take it from
there if there is genuine interest and expand it to more features.

Hi dimitris
We would love to have that. We could have a Spec binding and build
automatically applications in QT for people willing. Esteban always wanted to
have a Cocoa binding used the same way. But this is large task
