Python and C++: the best of both worlds
summary
Qt for Python is production-ready for Qt 5.15 and migrating to Qt 6 with official wheels, a commercial option, and updated docs. Highlights include the snake_case import that maps camelCase APIs to Pythonic names, true properties exposing Qt properties as Python attributes, expanded QML support with unlimited QML types plus singleton/uncreatable registration and a qml element decorator, and improved bindings via chiboken—including a shiboken UI tool that scans C++ libraries, generates a reduced type system and builds bindings; example shows identical widgets implemented in C++ and Python.
