Quoting glyph@divmod.com:
Currently qtreactor is being tested on the "reactors" buildslave and is keeping it red, despite the fact that all the other reactors on that slave work fine (modulo a few elusive race conditions). wxreactor is not being tested at all. I believe we should split qt out so that it can have its own red column and not interfere with the gtk and poll reactors, and if we run a wx slave it should also be separate.
The next QT version (4.2, currently in RC1) contains support for the Glib eventloop. This has to be tested, but it promises use of the gtk reactor with Qt application. Qt 4.2 (and PyQt) is not released but should be by the time of Twisted 2.6; we could then write a documentation about integration.
That would be great. Is that going to be the default mainloop or an optional add-on?
The drawback is that you'll need glib (ie, python-gtk) to write a Qt app.
Some might not call that a drawback ;).
We also have a qt4 reactor (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/1770) that needs a maintener. Last time I checked few things were needed to make the test suite pass.
Are you willing to have a crack at fixing that code?
