QtPyVCP is a Qt and Python based framework for building virtual control panels for the LinuxCNC machine control.
The goal is to provide a no-code, drag-and-drop system for making simple VCPs, as well as a straightforward, flexible and extensible framework to aid in building complex VCPs.
QtPyVCP master branch is now python 3 only
Requires debian 11
Do I need to install master branch?
Only if you want to use linuxcnc 2.9.0~pre or help porting qtpyvcp to python3
Master branch is our develop channel, we offer stable releases but none yet for Python3, latest python2 release is 0.3.19
a maintenance branch for python2.7 is keept until linuxcnc 2.9 is released
to install it you need to run as user
python2.7 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/kcjengr/qtpyvcp@python2_maintenance
How does affect your VCP?
You only need to run 2to3.py in your VCP root directory

Nothing it should be transparent
