Data transfer between Source and python

[siver (Art Danning)]

I am properly confused.

@mwestphal

The only way to get some property ‘x’ exposed to python (i.e. be able to call GetActiveSource().x ) is to have a Q_PROPERTY on it in its c++ class.

Not at all. To have a property exposed in python for a proxy, the property only needs to be declared in the xml of the proxy.

Indeed, but doesn’t Q_PROPERTY (and it’s READ WRITE fields) tell us which set/get methods to use for python calls (among other things)? Otherwise the xml property will return null and cannot be updated.
