example examiner_embed4.py not working with soqt (PySide port)

[looooo]

The problem is that soqt needs shiboken. But shiboken can be available as import Shiboken.shiboken or directly as import shiboken. The latter is the correct way to import it and pip-version has a bug there.
Please try again with my latest commit. If your shiboken is directly located somewhere in sys.path this should work now.

Many thanks for your quick advice ... to make your most recent commit f722bc0 compilable , I had to insert a missing definition
PyObject* shiboken = NULL;
into function getShiboken(). However, to this end, I couldn't figure out how to fix Shiboken's pip install location under Windows, yet, and I had no luck with running examiner_embed4.py with the most recent commit. Does this actually work for you? (this example requires the fix in the line 34 calling the inherited constructor I posted above in order to function under Python3)

P.S.: I still receive the error posted above
Wrong number or type of arguments for overloaded function 'new_SoQtExaminerViewer'.

Making shiboken directly importable to WinPython (as "import shiboken") by manually copying the contents of my pip installation python3.6.1amd64\lib\site-packages\Shiboken*.* one folder up (living now directly under site-packages) now lets me successfully import shiboken, however, examiner_embed4.py still gives me the following error message when trying to run this example:
TypeError: wrapInstance expected 2 arguments, got 0

Could you please confirm whether examiner_embed4.py fails for you using PySide under py3 linux64 as well? Many thanks in advance! Best regards and whishes!

Just one more finding: Using wheel PySide‑1.2.4‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
from Chris Gohlke's repository of python wheels for Windows
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
I found that his PySide wheel already ships with shiboken. Therefore, it should not be necessasry to download Shiboken seperately and build it manually on Windows.

from PySide import shiboken

just works fine for me. I've already tried and adapted Pivy's interfaces/soqt.i correspondingly,
however, I still receive the TypeError reported above. Therefore, I reckon issue #19 is not related to importing shiboken.

Closing this, since FreeCAD uses its own C++ implementation of QuarterWidget.

[looooo]

are you going to use the free-cad viewer?

[InventorMentor]

No, I reckon my best bet is to focus on your SoQt-PySide port for now, since it is closest to full Inventor Mentor compatibility in Python 3 as far as I can tell. Neverthless, to this end, SoQtExaminerViewer is not wrapped with Shiboken as a PySide QWidget type (but as pivy.gui.soqt.SoQtExaminerViewer) and its constructor unfortunately does not accept other QWidgets created with PySide. Therefore, though most Inventor Mentor examples run fine with SoQt now, not having SoQtExaminerViewer embedable in a PySide application makes the current SoQt port unusable from a pure Pythpn application development point of view ...
