-1 to mixing Python and C++ to me. If we only targeted one platform with one version of Python I would be a +1 but the amount of emails we get about Python not working, conflicts with Python version, conflicts of Python plugin libs etc, would lower the user experience not increase it.<div>

I like the clear distinction between C++ and Python parts as it is now. For me, it is still very important to have the possibility to build QGIS without Python if necessary (e.g. doing a quick test with a Windows or Mac build of a branch).<br>

As for having Atlas a QGis core part, I could do the C++ port, but this<br>
project would need funding. If anyone interested, get in touch.<br>

Do you think a porting to C++ is really necessary? Wouldn't it be<br>
sufficient to move the py code to master once ready for production and<br>
well tested?<br>
</blockquote>
That's something to ask to qgis devs at large :)<br>
If we keep it in Python, I'd be glad to move it to qgis master.<br>
We'd want to wait for test and consolidation before that.<br>
What do other think ?<br>

It is really tempting to move forward from being pure c++ application<br>
to a hybrid of c++ and python code - and I am not talking about python<br>
plugins shipped by default with qgis - I mean that python would be a<br>
required dependency since some parts of the GUI would be in python. I<br>
tend to be in favor of that (to some degree).<br>
<br>
There are some advantages (many python developers, lots of working<br>
python code in plugins) and some disadvantages (code maintenance). At<br>
the same time we should have a vision what should and what should not<br>
go into qgis app - not many plugins are really for general purpose,<br>
with good gui+code quality and without further dependencies.<br>
<br>
It would be interesting to see what other devs think about opening<br>
qgis to python code.<br>
<br>
