I think there is a macro defined in one the Qt headers that turns "slots" into nothing.

This allows the following to work:

#include <QWidget> class Something : public QWidget { Q_OBJECT public slots: void doStuff(); };

That would explain why you get this error message. You compiler sees:

PyType_Slot *;

Because the "slots" word disappeared.

At least that's my theory.

Can you include Python.h before including any Qt headers, maybe that'll solve your problem.

Hello,

I try to embed Python into Qt application but when I add

#include <Python.h>

at the top for working app, the compilation breaks with:

../sample/python3.3m/object.h:432:23: error: expected member name or

';' after declaration specifiers PyType_Slot *slots; /* terminated by slot==0. */ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ^

Please, does anyone know why this happens? I'm new to all this compilation stuff - could it be that Python defines the same names as Qt? Namely "slots"?

Qt uses "clang++", it that changes anything...
