Over the past weeks I’ve worked on a small project to combine the best of the Qt and Python domains. It was time to put both together. I knew about the PyQt- (Riverbank) and PySide- (Qt) bindings for years, but never really dipped my feet into those water. It was time to fix this.
GroundSpace (wordplay) is a small tool to fill your hard-disk (SSD ..) with arbitrary content. To test the speed of writing and to create big chonks of data.
What was learnt?
* creating an ui-file with QtDesigner (jk, I knew this) and how to pre-compile it for PyQt-usage
* loading that uic-file and creating connections
* progress-callback
* how evil the ‘eval()’ function in Python is
Next stop: I want a proper web-scraper in Python.
