One other thing, what part of Qt you would like to use, the widget world or the
QML world?
I have been thinking about building a UI in QML and using Pharo to implement
the model. This could be doable. However, the best idea I came up with (up till
now) would require custom glue code in C++ (although I do like the idea of
integrating with PyQt or PySide instead). But I have only been toying with the
idea, nothing more.
I intended to post the message to the mailing list before, but by accident I
sent it directly to another mailing list participant. My sincere apologies for
that...
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.
