<div dir="ltr">Compared to C++, Python is pretty easy to pick up. There are some really good Python videos and after you watch a few of them (or even just one) I would say you would feel comfortable in it. Because the PyQt and Qt C++ APIs are almost the same in terms of porting the code it almost comes right over; plus or minus a few little tweaks. <div>

<br><font face="sans-serif">yes, our company has to come to a strategic
decision in the next time. And I'm not sure what to suggest. I don't know
python but i think i need much time to port ca. 3000 lines existing code,
otherwise in future it should grow up much more. Besides I'm spoiled of
the IDE of VS, i need to look what pythondeveloper use for it. And do pythondeveloper
not depend on sth, like PyQt? QGIS and Qt are programmed in C++, so there
wait perhaps no bad surprises?... difficult</font>

IMHO you need very strong arguments not to do this job as a Python<br>
plugin. All the external C++ plugins I have seen have died out sooner<br>
or later for the problems in keeping API and ABI compatibility.<br>
All the best.<br>
