-1. Make the parser aware of Python keywords so they can't be used as
-member function names.
-
-5. Allow handwritten code for static class variables (like
-KTMainWindow.memberList). The problem is intercepting references to it
-(__getattr__ and __setattr__ aren't good enough) - probably extending the
-lazy function mechanism.
-
-11. Consider changing the way default arguments that are function calls are
-handled. At the moment the function is always called and the result discarded
-if it is not needed. It should really only be called if the result is really
-needed.
-
-18. Implement the C++ feature of automatically calling simple ctors to
-transparently convert between types for function parameters. For example, a
-function takes a parameter of type QKeySequence, but is passed an int, but
-there is a QKeySequence ctor that takes a single int - so call it
-automatically. This just needs extra code generated for the CanConvertTo and
-ConvertTo functions. This will only work where the destination type is a
-class. Note that we will end up doing lots of checks in the CanConvertTo
-function and repeating them in the ConvertToFunction. It would be better if
-the CanConvertTo function could return some information (even the results of
-the conversion of simple types like ints) to be re-used by ConvertTo - but make
-sure default arguments are handled correctly. We could implement it for base
-types as well (if the source type implemented an appropriate cast operator) but
-the way of doing argument parsing would have to change completely - if
-sipParseArgs was trying to convert an argument to an int it would have to have
-a table of all types that could be converted to an int (messy and slow?).
-
-19. Consider changing sipConvertToCpp() etc. to take a PyObject* (rather
-than a sipWrapperType*) and do a check and cast internally.
-
-22. Consider adding support for methods that take keyword arguments. Do it
-by allowing a function parameter to have a name (this becomes the keyword) and
-extend sipParseArgs() to take an options dictionary and list of keywords.
-
-24. Need some way of implementing new Qt properties, or at least fiddle the
-implementation of QSqlPropertyMap to allow new customer editor widgets to be
-implemented in Python.
-
-25. Add support for specifying docstrings for generated methods.
-
-26. Fully implement QObject.disconnect().
-
-27. Look at adding QObject.Q_OBJECT() that will create the moc generated
-methods dynamically (maybe just the tr() functions).
-
-28. Consider creating a copy of a const reference when wrapping it in order
-to enforce const in Python. Or add a flag to the wrapper which says it is a
-const instance. I think the only to way to implement it is to have a "const"
-Python type - an instance of which will point to the underlying Python object.
-This will enable const_cast to be implemented.
-
-30. Add support for specifying the reverse arithmetic operators. (Or just
-document that you should use the normal ones as global operators?)
