Hello Qt for Python

Most interfaces created through web technology would be incredibly hard and slow to do using pyside/pyqt. We take for granted the non-blocking aspect of javasript where in python in order to make a slick interface would require to deal with threads/GIL in a much slower interpreted language compared with javascript running on V8.

Qt (Qt Desktop) bindings for python are welcome. But, it's not a suitable for a viable replacement for electron. Maybe Qt Quick, but even qt quick has some decisions that can make incredibly uncomfortable to use in large applications.

We have asyncio now to handle things in a non-blocking way with async/await. Someone just needs to write an implementation of asyncio.AbstractEventLoop that hooks into the Qt event loop.

And then they need to write an async version of everything you might want to use. And then they're done!

No, async versions of everything are already being written, based on asyncio. You just need the glue for using it with Qt.
