PyQml is a Python C extension binding a minimal subset of Qt's QML api for the rapid development of QML based UIs with Python. It is written to be portable, and is tested on Windows (Linux support planned for 0.1 release). Contributions for MacOS support are welcome!

Currently, PyQml supports Python 3.5 and 3.6, but one may be able to get it work on 3.4 on Linux. See building for how to build.

As of right now, PyQml can run programs such as the Qt Quick Controls 2 Gallery. It is still very early stages of the library, and much work is left to be done.

As of right now, one must first install Qt>=5.7, either through your operating systems package manager, or through the official installers provided by the Qt Company. You also need to add the path to the qmake executable to your PATH. Then one should be able to run python setup.py install or if you would like to build the binary python setup.py build_ext

This software is considered pre-alpha. It may eat your computer for lunch if it feels like it. I make no garuntees that it will work for you or is safe to use. Use at your own risk!
