How's this for a crazy idea ... use PyKDE to expose the scripter API over DCOP? I don't know if it's possible, but it might work ;-) I don't know enough about DCOP to speculate about built-in support. |

http:// wiki.scribus.net /index.php/Experimental_PyQt_projects has a sample that relies on the use of PyKDE to load DCOP support at runtime. (ARGH, the mantis URL parser is braindead! What the heck is wrong with 'E' in a URL? URL now deliberately munged so mantis doesn't try to link-ify it.). I have a C++ plugin working here that does exactly the same thing (just without PyKDE) and requires no patches to the core Scribus code. I'll see about bundling it up as a plugin that can be installed after the main Scribus install, but it won't be useful until I can name some of the key objects (see wiki). |

Doesn't look like DCOP would work out without writing quite a bit of IDL code for the interfaces - the automagic wrappers only seem to work on an extremely limited subset of methods. I looked for ways to make it mostly automatic, but didn't have much luck. Given that it sounds like KDE4 may use something based on D-BUS instead of DCOP, I don't think it's worth pursuing. Better wait and see what KDE4 and Qt4 bring us, and focus on other things in the mean time - such as KIOslaves on the KDE integration side. I'm closing this as WONTFIX. Please reopen if you think I've missed something. |
