Qt Modules

Importing QtCore, QtGui and QtWidgets works for all Qt versions. For Qt4, QtWidgets is an alias for QtGui, so Qt5 code with QtWidgets / QtGui separation will work on Qt4 as well.

from cute import QtCure, QtGui, QtWidgets

Connecting to Signals

Cute offers a cute.connect(...) method to mitigate the difference between Qt4 and Qt5.

# Qt4 Code:
QtCore.QObject.connect(my_object, QtCore.SIGNAL('error(QProcess::ProcessError)'), my_callback)

# Qt5 Code:
my_object.error.connect(my_callback)

# Cute Code:
cute.connect(my_object, 'error(QProcess::ProcessError)', my_callback)

The API for disconnecting is the same, just use the cute.disconnect(...) function.

Form to Widget

IDA has 2 APIs for getting the widget associated with a TForm. One for PyQt and one for PySide. Cute wraps them both in one function.

my_widget = cute.form_to_widget(my_tform)

Which Qt Should I Use?

Sometimes, you do need to to know the Qt version your code uses. For those cases, ask the use_qt5 variable.

if cute.use_qt5:
    print 'Use Qt5'
else:
    print 'Use Qt4'

In a Project

There are two recommended ways to use Cute:

1. Copy it into your own project. This way does create code duplication, but avoid dependencies.

2. Install it as a package - pip install idacute.
