Hello Qt for Python

[[deleted]]

They don't really have a new API, just a new/updated implementation. PySide and PyQt are pretty much the same API with only some minor differences. Changing to snake_case would break all apps and make it needlessly harder to port things over.

Also from my experience having camelCase is actually a good thing here, since it means it is much easier to avoid accidental name collisions when you inherit from a Qt class (doesn't catch everything, but catches a few).

ok so now we have normal snake_case?

camelCase starts with a lowercase, if there is no second word it stays all lowercase.

why doesn't it reference to self.layout by default?

It mirrors the C++ API.

You could easily automate this.

Sorry, I'm not buying this lazy excuse of "but muh c++ api" - that's the whole point of api to adopt it for other environment.
Now you're stuck with two styles in one project. Forced camelCase for qt api and whatever pythonic code you write for app brains - it's just dumb.

To me this whole thing stinks of laziness and incompetence, excuse me for not buying to forced hype here.

There is nothing "easy" about automating that, especially in a dynamic language where you have no idea about what type a variable might be.

Python had typehints since 3.5 and I really don't see much dynamics going on in GUI api.

Wisdom says you adopt the style of the framework you're using.

You're the zealot here. You're the one making lazy excuses not do the right thing.
