Re: Use pyqtProperty on QObject instance

Being able to call pyqtSlot as a function and not a decorator as you can with pyqtProperty would allow me to avoid having to add an explicit setter for every property and simply generate them from the FIELDS class attribute.



    @pyqtSlot(str)
    def setFirstName(self, x): self.set(‘firstName', x)

It looks like pyqtProperty can read the attributes from fset and fget, but pyqtSlot doesn’t read the attribute from name?

A simplified explanation of the idea is that instead of adding signals dynamical to a class you can instead add other QObject instances with signals on them as attributes of your primary class.  I wrapped this up with a descriptor which I can use pretty much as a drop in replacement for pyqtSignal but without having to inherit from QObject.  Not sure if that approach ends up helpful here though.  Of course there is overhead associated with extra objects etc but... sometimes that doesn't matter.
