scene graph editor PySide / python incompatibility #12

Open foobarbecue opened 1 year ago

Scene Graph Editor would be very useful to me, but I can't get it to work.

I tried the windows installer, which said it needed python3.5, so I installed that using miniconda and edited my registry to get it in there so the installer would find it. But then when I run it it says it needs PySide, and PySide doesn't seem to exist for python 3.5 (only PySide2 or newer).

I also managed to install on linux using setup.py (with workaround for #11) and have pretty much the same experience over there -- it wants old pyside, but that's incompatible with the python version it wants.

I guess the crux of the matter here is that this is a Qt4 project and Qt4 is obsolete?

I haven't updated PyInventor in a long time. It really should be upgraded to use Python 3.11, PySide2 / Qt5 (or even better PySide6 / Qt6), and the latest coin. Not sure how involved that will be and if I have the time to tackle it now. Perhaps you could fork the repo and give it a try o your own?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm a little short on time and relevant experience, but I'll give it a go.
