<![CDATA[looking for a code editor widget for Qt for Python]]>Hey. I am looking for a slightly more sophisticated code editor widget for Pyside2/6, but it seems hard to find something that is actually usable (which includes: can be styled, has common basic editor features, and can be easily integrated) and still maintained. The best thing I found is pyQode which, unfortunately, is also not maintained anymore and cannot be used right away with PySide2 or PySide6. While it could be easy to bring most of it to the new versions myself, I would strongly prefer a solution that is still actively maintained. Does someone know any? Thanks.

Hi,

Did you consider contributing to KDE directly ? There's an ongoing effort to build bindings for their extensive set of classes.

You probably won't find anything for PySide, there is a lot more out there written with PyQt. Unless you see it using many PyQt-specific features, in principle it should not take much to make it work for PySide. Can't you use QtPy yourself to (try to) achieve this?

Did you check QScintilla ?

But I'm not looking for an IDE, just some widget I can customize. (if there isn't a simple way to integrate the Kdevelop text editor into my application that I missed)

Did you consider Kdevelop ?
