[vtk-developers] Plans for Python SIP and vtkMy in modular?

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey David,

Thanks for letting me know – that will help with my planning for the future of those classes (although, of course, it will complicate things a bit). I've heard of PySide, but never looked into it myself since PyQt4 has been working fine for me. Maybe this will give me some motivation to start.

Best,
-Eric
