Hello,

Very nice package, and very useful.
Is there a plan for QT5 support?

Thanks in advance
Saptarshi

Best is to ask @leonbottou who did this interface to QT4. On my side, I am afraid I have no time to port it to QT5.

Alas I do not have time to do this either.

The trickiest part of qtlua is the multithread support, i.e. all the code that allows lua to run in a second thread and still control qt objects in the main thread.

The goal was to seamlessly fuse the lua REPL and the GUI event management. But this might be overkill. The current torch has a REPL implemented in lua (the trepl package). Instead of using the standard REPL and a thread hell, one could modify TREPL to perform event management. This is less powerful but could work nicely enough…
